On hiatus…

Many people have asked how the marathon went. My reply: “It was a very interesting day. Good, but interesting and you can read all about it on my site.” Sort of a shameless plug to drive people and traffic to my site, to learn what it is all about. Usually their next question is, “Have you ran since or are you going to do it again?” Well, those that follow me know, the running has been non-existent since the marathon. And do it again, well, perhaps. Is this the marathon bug that everyone talks about that has done a marathon before?

That is right, I have been on a running hiatus since the marathon. Mostly because I wanted to let my knee recuperate a bit and let the blisters heal, so no running for me. No running until today, that is. I put the running shoes back on the other day for a walk around the neighborhood and realized it had been a while. Something must have triggered when I laced up the shoes, because guess who woke up early this morning to get in a run. 1 mile on the treadmill, run and done, it felt great. The sweat and breathing was a little heavier, but I am trying to not push it too hard. I am going to do 1 mile at a time, to keep the training/running going. Here’s to the next mile and preparation for my next 10k – The Dirty Dash with obstacles and mud – should be a lot of fun.
