Subject: Life... post-RTB...
Yeah it kinda SUCKS! I'm dead tired, every time I run I'm just more tired. I've done only short distances since the race- 2 miles here, 4 there... but nothing worth talking about. And none of it has been good... I've just been sore and my legs have felt like weights.
The good part about this is I know how I usually am after a race... it takes me a week or two to get back on the wagon, and then I'm geared up again and ready to go. The better thing is that I am signed up for the Monson Memorial Classic half marathon in November, so I have something to aim for when I'm running. I'm doing some 5Ks here and there, but the half marathon is the next real race I'm looking at. I'm doing it with a bunch of my RTB buddies, which is amazing cause they are the most fun!
Just a word about that: I LOVE that I now have running friends. Rather than taking my existing friends and trying to make them runners (which almost never works, by the way) I now have a group of people who are already as passionate and crazy about running as I am, and many of them are crazier than I am!! They push me and motivate me beyond any other force I've ever experienced... I guess that is the beauty that comes out of spending a whole weekend in a van with people... This team is so crazy awesome, I can't see how I could have done this race any other way... Many thanks to Mud, Sweat, and Beers :)
This weekend is going to be really good. Tonight, unfortunately, I am going to be doing planning and stuff for my classroom. Things are definitely hard at TC4, but it looks like they will be getting better by the week... I'm hanging in, and the girls at work make it 100x easier- Jessie, Leslie, Stacy, Erin, etc... you gotta love em! Tomorrow I am probably going to hit the gym (in another attempt to get the hell out of my running dry spell) and then I am going out with my entire family (read: mass craziness) to watch my uncle's band play lame covers... BUT it will be a great chance to see my family and DRINK with them, which I LOVE cause they are so FUN! It will be a good time. What's better is that I am staying at my Mom's which can only mean one thing... Mom's belgian waffles on Sunday morning. YEAH BABY!
Unfortunately, I will be missing Clare-Bear's bar-hopping birthday on Saturday night... so to Clare, a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! and to the rest of my team partaking, GET HER WASSSSTED!!!!!!! haha
Overall, things are going so well. I'm very happy.
