ON A LIGHTER NOTE!

On Saturday at 10:20 pm my grandfather passed away. He was a man of great courage and determination and fought till the very end. I am dedicating my IM Fl to him since exercise was one of the most important things to him. I spent a huge part of my childhood with him and will always have the outermost fond memories with him. I will try to remember him happy and healthy, and not suffering in the hospital.

It has been a rough couple of weeks, but everything semms to be calming down. My grandfather went home with my aunt yesterday, training is picking up and x-mas shopping is done! Las week we had brunch with all the peeps, it was great to see everyone before the season starts. I very much look forward to next season, I am starting it off by running a 5k on New Years Day. i hope it starts a liitle later in the day. :)

Power of friendship

Thank you all for your messages, texts and emails. At times like these I realize how important family and friends are.

No race?

Well, it's been 1 week since my last race and I am supposed to take a few weeks off. Have I? Heavens NO! I know i need to give my body a break, but I feel so lazy. My eating has been horrible too, I am craving junk and indulging! Ran on tuesday and felt pretty good, so of course I found myself googling the next marathon, I really want to go sub 4. I was 3 minutes off. I will try to rest, but it seems I just can not go EASY!!!
