I just got an email noting this milestone and it seems so crazy how close it is. That is not a long way out. I'd like to have a good 20 weeks of training, 16 minimum before I go, but life has been full lately.
What a gorgeous autumn its been here in Wisconsin. I have to say, I haven't been running as much as I should, but I have logged a few miles here & there. Its been more fun to grab leftover corn after the combines have come through in the fields behind our home with my boys & dogs, play at the park & roll down the hill with Maxim, whose giggles are priceless. This is what is important right now.
Halloween costumes are DONE and I'm so excited for that. We've made apple butter & cider, begun carving pumpkins, and thanks to a bountiful year, we have MANY left to do (a few might make their way out to daddy's treestand), this will also lead to countless hours of roasting pumpkin seeds. Amidst harvest fun, getting ready for winter is another chore, we've also been finalizing our kitchen remodel & life has been very busy. The important things are loving my family & being there with my sons. The run will come. Though I'm not feeling my fastest, I'll improve in time. My only true worry is acclimating, but it has been such a wonderful fall here in Wisconsin, that too I hope is easy. So...milestones are coming, training plans are beginning, and winter is right around the corner, as is the muted sound of my tennis shoes on fresh fallen snow & Johnny Cash singing about blackberry jam cookin' in the pan melts into my ears & keeps me warm.
