Well I said I didn't want to sign up for anything right now. Anyone who has read one or two posts knows I am full of shit. We I haven't signed up for any fall marathon yet so that much is true. But I am training for something now. I signed up for the Pittsburgh half marathon 5-5-13. An opportunity presented itself and I decided to do it. I feel lost right now. Still. My family is adjusting to mom the 9-5er. I think I am too but I just don't feel like me. I may be a little depressed about something, but I have no reason to be really. Things are good just feeling less graceful and a little more rough than usual. I figure this race training will help that. Maybe kinda like a comfort. Even if I loathe crowded areas, and I didn't really want to do a city race, I think I feel a little better already. It's silly but stuff like this can have the same effect on me, as a toy would to a child. I have a weird passion and few share it with me, on this day I will be with shitloads of them running with me and I will fit right in instead of being an oddball like my normal day to day. I am getting mildly excited.
So little miss not training for anything right now has a huge city half marathon in 9 weeks and is starting to smile at being her own walking contradiction.
Tomorrow is 7 maybe 8 miler. I will remind yinzers this will be my first half marathon....I haven't one accomplished yet, only fulls.
onward!
Running through the city of Pittsburgh is AMAZING. You will love it. It is a lot of runners though which is not ideal but still worth it.
