Write like I run


I am so dedicated to my running (except for the continuing battle to get those long runs in) but I seldom do any writing anymore, much less blogging. But that is all going to change. I just signed up for NaNoWriMo, and I am going to write even more than I run in the month of November! I like that it doesn't matter if it's crap. No pressure there.

So, I ended up skipping the trail marathon because we got a new puppy that weekend instead. And then I ended up skipping the trail ultra marathon because I just never got adequate training in and the finish time was too tight for me. But I am registered for the Indy Monumental Marathon next Saturday and Chickamauga Battlefield on Nov. 8, so I am finally going to become a Marathon Maniac.

Races I have done in the past few months included a July 4th 10k, a woman's only 10k, a half-marathon in Oxford, OH and another one in Dayton. Oh, I forgot, I did also run Oklahoma City Memorial in late April. Can't believe I didn't blog about. Oh yes I can, because I run more than I write! But that is going to change this month. My longest run going into this marathon will be 16, which I did last weekend. That's enough for me to know I can finish.
