I'm back at it

Well, after a summer of not working out as much as I should have, school is back upon me and I'm going to start running again. This summer should have been an ideal one for me to get into great shape: work wasn't all that time consuming, and except for the last couple weeks of monsoons here, the weather has been great. This is actually the year that I should be doing Ironman Wisconsin, but I failed to get an entry a year ago.

So it's back to the running again. My hope once again is to race the Sunburst Marathon in South Bend in June of 2008, but this year I am getting an earlier start on my training. With a more gradual build of the volume and mileage, I hope to actually make it through to the race this time without any serious injuries. To start things off I am beginning training for a 10k Turkey Trot near Madison that had some surprisingly fast times last year. We'll see how things go!
