so you know what i'm sick of more than running? NOT RUNNING! it's nearly a month since the marathon and i think i'm ready to get back on the wagon. and now with a normal work schedule i can actually sign up for races on the weekends!
so in the great running tradition, i'm all registered for a turkey trot in sacramento on thanksgiving. i'm not expecting any running miracles, except to finish and have a grand ol' time. but i'm looking for this race to give me the boost i need to get back into running regularly.
because in exactly one month and one day after that, i am running the christmas classic 5k in san francisco. my goal will be to demolish my turkey trot time, if not pull in a sub-30 min 5k.
after months of marathon madness, 5k training seems like a slice of heaven. sure i might want to totally vomit my guts out from trying to run consistent 10 minute miles, but at least the torture only lasts 30 minutes!

I hear ya on lovin the shorter distances right now. They can be challenging in different ways though.
I like the blog's new look!
welcome back to that running spirit, you're awesome! run like the wind!
And she's back in the game. :)
I've always wanted to run a Turkey Trot but there aren't any near my hometown. Maybe next year I'll run one in Minneapolis in the morning and then haul ass to Iowa for the feast/family...
I found that marathon training helped me knock out 5k PRs, even though I never ran very fast while marathon training, so I'm sure you're gonna rock them both!
Love the new layout chica!! You change em a lot LOL Do you change around your furniture this much too? hehe
Way to go getting back on that bandwagon!! YEEEHAAAWWWWWWW ;D ;D
Oh, but the pukey feeling is oh-so-worth it when you see you've PR'd. Which I know you can do!
Cool- good luck!
I am signed up for a Thanksgiving Day 5k down in San Diego and am kind of looking forward to it... 5k pace is painful, but at least it's short. Happy Thanksgiving! :)
Soooo....I've never run a 5K, which is kinda weird. Buuuutt...this one sounds fun...so I talked to Jen, and we were thinking...5K plus a really GREAT omelette place we know about in the city?
