CLEARLY

well - this blog has definitely taken a back seat, and i hate to say it - my training hasn't COMPLETELY been my top priority.

excuse #1: went to japan - was in a jet-lagged, crazy sleep cycle for the days following.  messed with my running.

excuse #2: week after japan - my senior-year-defining-PR-project-life-crazy-stressful-proposal was due, and those nights when i was at the journalism school until 3 a.m. working SEMI interfered with running (semi - i DID run...just not has much as I should have)

excuse #3: my bum knee is acting up.  in my opinion, effing up my knee is not a good thing.  if that means less mileage, so be it.

HOWEVER - it is a BEAUTIFUL Easter sunday, and I am looking forward to a nice, long run.  I might have to do some walking stops, but whatever.  It happens.

Training for a half-marathon is entirely out of my comfort zone and I am trying my best.  I already know - this will not be the last time I train for a race, and I already know things I'll do differently next time (for example: having a local training buddy.  i mean - if corey and I were there with each other, running and training IRL (in real life....) - things may be different)

Still fun.  Still love to run.  Still looking forward to Nashville in three (eekkk!!!) weeks.  Haven't given up yet.
