Okay, well I didn't get that Altra sponsorship. Which is a shame because I really wanted it and I already promote their product, but I'll keep training and keep using their shoe, because I love it, and I'll keep promoting their product because I love it!
I am being surrounded this summer by people who love working out and running, and my passion is coming back. I really miss my bicycle. I need to name it. I don't even know if it is a boy or a girl, or if it should just have a generic pet name like 'Midnight.'
...actually, I remember I did name it! I call her 'Honey Boo-Boo.' Why?!? That is an awful name, an awful show, and that kid is clearly not in shape. Well, you see, Honey Boo-Boo is my aluminum frame trek WSD 2.1 (I think it is a 2.1) with Reynolds Carbon Fiber Wheels. Needed a somewhat white trash name.
Anywhoo, an update of my life- I'm thinking of doing the KC Marathon. I'd do the half. I'd follow this training plan. Look at me adding links and stuff, I must be serious!
I'll be working at a new job this fall, and so that will keep me very busy. But I'm determined now. Life will ALWAYS get in the way. This needs to be a priority. My plan is to wake up early to train in the morning early early early (maybe in the dark?) and then go to school. If I miss, I can go after school. I'm very close to Forest Park now! There is a shower very close to my office IN THE BUILDING. No excuses! Plus my gym membership is 10 dollars a month, and they have a shower, too and they are on the way to work as well. I seriously CANNOT skimp on my training this time. It is for my mental well-being! My teeth grinding is awful these days and I have trouble sleeping. I think if I train more, especially long runs to focus on something else, or maybe think about my life, things will improve. Isn't that why people love running?
Maybe I'll finally get there.
