I didn't get my mileage in today because of thunderstorms. You know, it's nice not to be training for an event - I don't feel bad missing a day of running. :)
2 things of importance...
1) My play opens tomorrow! It's at Company Onstage in Westbury and we run every Friday and Saturday evening at 8pm for 6-7 weeks. I'll figure out how to put a link on this blog. I will send out the mass e-mail next week. Please don't come opening weekend - we're most nervous.
2) I joined "Kenyan Way: Kenyan Nights" this evening. Starting Monday, for 12 weeks I will be training with runners from all walks/runs of life. Sean Wade, 1996 Olympian and winner of the 2003 Houston Marathon is the head coach. Twice a week I will be doing hill training and speed work with the group. I'm excited. At the orientation, I discovered that Sean is one of the tiniest men I've ever seen (on par with Jeff Galloway) and that I was the largest person there! Not that I'm enormous, but everyone else there actually looked like a runner. I don't look like a runner. But that's not going to deter me - if anything else it makes me stronger and more stubborn. So 12 weeks from now I'm going to be speedier, lighter and much healthier! Bring it on!
Oh, and here's a sign that this is the running group for me: at the registration table, not only did we get a fun goody bag and a free Kenyan Way running singelet, but we also got gourmet chocolate. Chocolate! And it had a little Kenyan runner on it.
Cheers!

That sounds like fun!! Maybe one of these days I will join an organized group for training (besides TNT!).
Glad the play is for several weeks - that way I have a chance to come see it. Would be great if a group of us got together to go see you.
