Running Withdrawls

Well, I finished my marathon and got through the dirty dash, now what? I'm sort of in running withdrawls right now. I've had quite the eventful year and I'm ready for my next adventure. But the weather has turned cold and there's quite a bit of snow on the ground right now. That makes running hard. I'm more of an outdoor runner. I can run on the treadmill, but it's not the same. There's something about being outside and it's not so monotonous. I guess I'll have to settle for a Thanksgiving 5K to satisfy my running urges.

My brother and I have signed up for the Salt Lake Half Marathon in April 2011 though. I told him I couldn't do the full because I can't train for a full marathon in the winter. That would be awful! Maybe I can talk him into doing the Top of Utah Marathon next year with me though. I really enjoyed that one. It's in September, so I had all summer to train outside, it was great! Yeah, I think I'll try and pursuade him to run that one with me. And by run it with me, I mean we would begin the race together because I can't keep up with him. He's too fast! I'm a slow runner.

  1. But you have undertaken something in the meantime. Women of Steel, May 21, 2011, right? And don't forget Beat the New Year on New Year's Eve at 11:30 p.m. (in the evening).
