Running...back...again!

Well, I did it again...took too much time off from blogging!  It's a vicious cycle...I don't blog...I feel bad about it...I feel so bad that I don't blog...I feel bad...

Anyway, I'm back!  So here's a quick update for my first day back!! 

When last we met, I had 2 weeks till my last half marathon.  It was quite a run!!  It was a fantastic run!!  My trainer, Kyle, predicted that I would shave off 10 - 12 minutes off my best previous time!  Amazingly, I really did take 13 minutes off my best time!  I ran the California Classic in 2:05:11.  My best half marathon has been 2:18!  Wow!!  I was pretty thrilled!

The secret, you may ask, is speed workouts!  That was the difference in preparing for this race.  Running 400s and tempo runs!  What a difference!

Hope your runs have been going well...I got hubby out for a run today.  I'm hoping I can keep him going out with me.  He even mentioned running a half marathon with me in November!  I'll keep you posted on his progress - keep good thoughts for me!  (His past experience with running was in the Army - not the  most pleasant memories!)

I'm almost at 40 followers - I'm excited!  When I reach 40, I'm going to hold my first giveaway - so keep checking back!  

And, here's a little preview of my next post...BACON!!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy 4th of July!!
