Still Running; Just Busy

The "I've been busy" card is going to get played again, and I haven't lied about the "Jackson is dragging me down" story either. It's still real. :)

So, let's see if I can recap and bring everyone up to speed as quick and as possible.

Last weekend saw me do the following:

+ Thursday - Hour on the treadmill, 12 minutes on the stationary bike.
+ Friday - Hour on the treadmill, 25 minutes on the stationary bike.
+ Saturday - Scheduled 11 miles; Accomplished 8.2 of them. Went off course and the humidity royally kicked my butt. (Pools of salt formed at the bottom of my shorts. That normally doesn't happen until mile 20+ of a marathon.)
+ Sunday - 50 minutes on the treadmill

When I got back last night from Jackson, I've accomplished the following:

+ Thursday - 90 minuntes on the treadmill
+ Friday - Almost an hour core and strength workout with a personal trainer. (I was whipped. I was going to run for a half hour. Ha! I lasted five minutes, came home and showered.)

Tomorrow may be a little bit crazy. :)

I'm working on my Runner Triathlete News column and finishing Footprints. Edwin has done a great story on Kingwood's John Hill for it. We'll also have Luis Armenteros' account of working out with Kara Goucher and Galen Rupp, and hanging with Alberto Salazar. Also a Q&A with new Power In Motion co-director Lisa Foronda. (Ever wonder why the best in the sport have no problem in getting along with me and others can't - even when I'm not pumping out all of the material that I used to? As June says, "I'm just saying!")

I helped Bill on some content for the August issue of "Deer Tracks" as well as coordinating the six-weeks-old version of "eDeerTracks" - which we took the idea from the great job that Joe Carey does with the "eBARCer".

It's great to have the friends that I do. Thank you for all that all of you do. :)
