Running Update

I could make excuses for myself: The weather has been really crummy, I have no treadmill, my wife has been ill...

I could and have been saying these things to myself but it doesn't help. In the end, I've been lazy and I know it. I keep thinking about April 19th, April 19th, April 19th. The date hasn't moved and somehow I keep thinking it's still a long ways off. I've been lazy and I deserve the Chubb to kick my butt. It will be kicked, and hard.

I know I can finish the race but finishing and doing well are two different things. I hope to do well but I'm putting little effort towards it. Honestly, check out my activities from the past 2 months:

Is that the running of someone getting ready for a 25k on a trail? No, that's the running of a lazy arse who needs a good kick in the rump. That I'll get, come April 19th...

As a side note, I just finished reading, "The Kite Runner." Although it's fiction, it really makes you feel crappy about all the worthless things you complain about. All the selfish things you fight for and make others sacrifice for. All the money wasted on "things."

I feel myself growing but slowly. Too slowly if you ask me.

Wish me luck...

I vote that we (your friends) all show up race day to throw rocks at you to keep you motivated. It should be especially effective near the flint rock area. Seriously, we all get in to ruts. Kick your own butt out of it. The skill will come in handy later in life. Trust me.

Jeremy,

25K... 15 Miles.... all that matters on race day is that you reach that finish line. It doesn't matter how you place, what your time was... just race yourself. You CAN and will do it. You've got a decent running base. You just haven't been running much lately.. you're in a rut and we've ALL BEEN THERE!

Chin up bud... you'll do just fine. This running stuff sucks for sure... trust me I know ; )

Now GET THE LEAD OUT!
