Wow! I can't believe that I let the whole month of December get away without a single post. And I have thought about it so many times, too. Like the other night when I realized how great it is to be a runner. I was out, running through Christmas lights, the sky was completely clear and the stars were so, so bright. I could smell wood smoke from someone's fireplace and all I could think was "I am so glad to be here! What a wonderful place I live in!!!!". Fast forward to today, when a creepy ex-student of my husband's cut me off with his car and acted like a freako stalker (before he recognized me, but no better after!) and all I could think was "I am never going to be able to run at night again!". It really scared me, and I don't scare easily. I am a Public Defender...crazy people and mean people are my stock in trade. I am NOT easily spooked. However, I have spot on instincts and this guy is a real, true nut job. Fortunately, I have friends who will look out for me- but still, it taints the whole experience.
Otherwise, all is well. I finally got new shoes and I have run 19.5 miles so far this week. I am trying to gear up to run the Blacksburg Distance Classic 10 miler on February 21.
My New Years Resolution is going to be to blog more on my progress toward my first half Marathon, which looks like it will be April 18 in Charlotte, NC.
