I have been extremely dilenquent over the past year or more at starting a regular running program. So of course I signed myself up for Marathon number 3, the San Antonio Rock and Roll Marathon. Now I am trying to take training seriously.
When I ran past marathons, I was in running groups where I had regular appointments I HAD to keep. Now, I cannot find a good group to go running with. I am supposed to start running with Corpus Christi Road Runners this coming weekend, but I need to check.
This morning's run was good. Felt good after the initial half mile or so and felt strong at the end. What I need to remember tomorrow is how energized I felt today as opposed to other days and make my lazy ass get out of bed. The sunrise was beautiful over the cornfields. Yes. I run by cornfields. Oy gewalt.
I have a calendar printed, a stolen basic plan from Runner's World and a spot in the San Antonio marathon. With the Texas heat never really ending, I need to stay hydrated. My weekday runs are short and easy, with weekend LSD. I also need to get a good amount of speedwork in if I am going to improve my time from the last marathon.
This morning a retarded man cheered for me from his busstop. I ran faster. Maybe I was encouraged by the cheer, maybe I wanted to avoid a retarded guy. In any case I can now say I've run faster due to coyotes and a retarded man. Here's to Texas running.
