Two-Wheeled Update

With all of these posts about dating, one might think I've abandoned fitness altogether and that's not the case.

I did the Hercules C-130 Time Trial in Dover, Delaware and loved it. I will write up and incredibly late race report. I did enter and start the Stoopid 50... but was pulled at the first aid station: THANK YOU!!!

It's become clear to me my true love (as it relates to sports activities, mind you) is running. Nearly every time I'd find myself in the woods or on the road I would think "I wish I were running." When it came to becoming creative to get my workouts in I just didn't have the willingness. I was getting pretty badly beaten up on the mtb and I finally started not only skipping workouts altogether, but running in secret... When an adult woman is skulking off to run like sneaking smokes in High School, something is wrong.

While this is going to be a long road, I am so happy to be back on it. I've completed a single run - on the record - and it was fantastic. My willingness is back, I feel happy and I am very optimistic about the direction.

That's not to say I won't be on two wheels. I am going to be racing slicks through the rest of the summer; time trials and maybe a hill climb or two. But the focus is running and that's alright with me.

Stay tuned, folks!
