Just arantin' and aramblin'

I hate starting over. But I think that's what I said at the beginning of this year or the end of last.

My month-long hiatus from running has taken it's toll. Three steps forward, two and a half steps back.

My own fault. Yes I'm my own worse enemy. Yes I blogged that before. So just like everyone else, I'm a creature of habit. And admitted lazy.

If I'm going to end in the top 50% of the Maui Half, I'm going to have to step up to the plate and do something. Wishful thinking isn't going to get me anywhere.

Tuesday was the 5 mile loop around Kersting Ct. That took 59+ minutes. Basically I'm back to a 12 mm pace for any distance running. Nope - that's not going to cut it. ARGGG

Unfortunately this weekend is a bit hectic to get back into the swing of things. Am I stalling? Well yes and no.

Dentist/fillings Friday late PM so running is probably out.
Saturday-going to LA central library & getting room ready for Dave's boys
Sunday-can run in AM since I have a tea party to go to in the PM. But this will be the first day they will be here. Maybe I can do a short run early AM so I'll be home by breakfast. OK. Yes. That's what I'll plan on.

Summer Solstice fun(ny) run

Jane and Carol giving out rules before the race

Everyone looking bright and cheery before the face

Tammy (with new teammmate), Erin and Urbana at the beginning of the race. They were the first place team for the short course.

Zach (with additional teammate) and Hope.

Eric's team figuring out their next move. I'm so glad you get to play instead of plan.

Thanks all for participating. And thanks Nadir, Anna & Vanessa for helping. Your help was invaluable! And thank you Carol & Jane for making my BD part of the event!
