I'm still here, although I've been using my myspace page more frequently (although that's not saying much... I just haven't been writing).
I am so extremely busy at my new school. It's not better than my other school; it's just different. Some things are better, some things are far worse. I'm definitely a stranger in a strange land over there.
But the most important aspect of my life is that I'm training for a race again. Two weeks ago, I literally ran into the Bay Area Fit people on their Saturday long run, and I joined the following Saturday.
My runs are slow. My first one back, which was just two weeks ago, was SO humbling. But in the two weeks that I've run, I've dropped my time already by a minute, so I'm doing 13:30 minute miles. I have faith that by the Houston Half, I'll be back down to 12 at least. I'd like to be back down to 11:30, but I'll be happy doing a consistent 12 at the Houston Half.
It feels so good to be running again. I was worried, but my knee is holding out ok (although I do feel the slight but unpainful twinges) and I haven't fallen! Yay!
Tomorrow is long run day. My goal is 8 miles.
Cheers!

Hey, you! I did the same thing! Decided it was time to get back into my blog and so now I'm making sure to keep up with everyone else's blogs too!
Congrats on the running again! I'm taking a breather - more details forthcoming...
I haven't made it out to the past couple weeks, but hopefully I'll see you at upcoming BAF long runs...
