Yes - This blog still exists

Quick update -

Over the last month, I've put in some good training with a pair of decent 5k's (17:30ish) in the Springfield area. I've had some good workouts and some not-so-good workouts. Put in decent long runs and finally becoming more consistent and sticking to a schedule with my running.

Now that I've graduated, it's time to start studying for the board exams at the end of July. I'm still waiting for a confirmation from the state so that I can go ahead and set-up my testing appointment (hopefully somewhere near Springfield!) I'm ready to start working and build a career. I'll start in July after I get my PT license.



Tomorrow Anthony and I are heading to KC for Hospital Hill this weekend. I'm not sure how this race will play out. I have the USA Half Champs in three weeks where I'm hoping for a new PR, so this race is being used as a "tune-up". I'd still like to run good and feel good, but right now my legs are fairly tired since I never really cut back my mileage for this race. I'll take today and tomorrow easier to try and feel more fresh. It also depends on who shows up for the race and how competitive it is this year. Last year there was a competitive women's field, and the top six ladies were all under 1:18:30, impressive for this course.



I'm also (impatiently) waiting for my poison ivy to go away. I must have gotten into some at the trail last weekend (this is why trail heads need bathrooms!) It's been hanging around for almost a week, and the last couple runs have been fairly uncomfortable and itchy.
