The Runner Within

Well, I’m sorry I haven’t written lately. I had a very dramatic week with finals and some personal turmoil. I will recover (from the finals, at least). So, I am going into surgery bright and early Tuesday morning, so I will not be posting, probably for a few days minimum… I think there’s some kind of “no typing” rule for a bit at least. I’m sad that I won’t be able to resume my training until the end of May, but tearing a stitch would be a bad idea. It’s all part of a process, though, and hopefully this will be the final step, and I won’t have to go through this again. I have all sorts of great running reading material to get me through the next couple of weeks, and then school will be starting up again, and then I’ll be running and training before I know it. I have to start searching for a race in FL during the summer. I’m registered for a 10k in October, but I want to run a race before then, at least a 5k. I might be able to do another 10k earlier, because I’m sure I’ll be back up to speed fairly quick in June (crosses fingers), but I haven’t found one I’m particularly interested in yet.

My trainer is also supposed to be teaching a summer class on personal training, and hopfully I can attend that. I think the knowledge will be extremely beneficial for the future. Also, I am considering joining an intramural indoor soccer team through my school and looking for some sort of martial art to take up. So, I’m sure that I’ll be fit and exhausted in no time. I will have to keep myself busy, or I’ll just wallow, and that’s no good!
