I guess I'm just drawing a blank and don't have much to write about. I have been pretty busy with that necessary evil - work but that's not a good enough excuse. It just seems to suck the life and creativity out of me.
I have been pondering a lot lately - mostly about 'where do I go from here'? Not in life but in running/exercise. I have managed to pack on some padding over the past few months - and boy was it evident on the Mt Washington race. I faded so fast and so dramatically and near passed out after mile 5 it was pretty frightening. My time doesn't really reflect my crappy level of fitness but I really felt like a pile of sh!t during the race. I need a goal.
I am debating on a fall marathon but haven't really picked one out. I suppose I should make a choice and draft up a plan. The possibilities and time remaining:
TCM - 12 weeks
Mohawk Hudson = 13 weeks
MCM = 17 weeks
OBX = 18 weeks
Richmond = 19 weeks
Philly = 20 weeks
I'm guessing that I'd get to make one trip so I have to make it count.
The other question is to try and bq or not. I'm not off to a very good start to even make this a remote possiblity.
We'll see what the next few weeks bring.

Dan,
TC is closed, it's been for a while now, so that's out.
My suggestion is to run either MH or Philly. MH looks wicked fast and the weather should be nice--I don't think I've seen any negative reviews for the race. I'll do that race someday! If you need more time to prepare, Philly!
You can totally BQ!!!!
I'll be anxious to hear what you decide on! Don't keep us in suspense for much longer!
