Where the hell have I been?

Ok, well yesterday I got mocked about my blog by a work mate on the phone and it has made me make an update to this blog. Here are my quick excuses for the lack of posting: 2 of the past 4 weeks included minor injuries that killed my great streak of good weeks of running, I have been busy with work, I am lazy, I am easily distracted and generally apathetic about my blog. That is about to change! I am back on track here and I will either keep up with this thing or just delete it. I am giving myself until the end of the year to keep it going, which I know I can.

So here is a very small snippet of what I have been up to:

Weeks over 80mi: 1
Weeks under 60mi: 3
Number of injuries from running: 1
Number of injuries from pool running: 1 (who does that?!)
Days missed from said injuries: 6
Races Run: 1 (CSUSM Cougar Challenge 8k - 25:58 - 16th overall)

I am going to compile the actual weeks and post them up when I am flying this weekend. The reason I can't now is that I have lots of work to get done before the weekend and we have Dianna's parents here so I am pretty much busy 24/7.

This week will be around 60mi but I am healthy. Just keeping the miles low so I don't shock my legs before the SD USATF XC Champs this weekend. I am currently sitting in 11th place for the season and top 10 get $$$ so I need to run my ass off and beat a few guys that I really shouldn't be losing to anyways.

I hope I have made every one's week so wonderful by updating my blog, even though it is a sad update. I promise a full race recap this weekend, updated logs and other such things that I will have time to do on my flight to Dallas on Sunday.

Until then best of luck to the both men's and women's Stonehill Cross Country teams at regionals this weekend. Both teams are going to be fighting hard to make nationals, especially the women who I believe are ranked out of the top 2 going in to regionals for the first time since something like 2000. The men look good after their 2nd place finish at conference but will have a real battle with U-Lowell and Southern CT for those two spots. Keep your eye on U-Lowell standout Ruben Sanca, this kid is something special and is going to make some noise on the national level.

Best of luck to all!
