Happy Birthday to Me

Today is my birthday, and as always, I am reflective. I often think about what I want to accomplish in the next year. I've found lately that I am more interested in reaching out to other people in the local fitness community, and so I want to do more of the same, both with CPR and with NVRC. I'm also seriously considering volunteering for Big Brothers. I have a lot of pent-up wisdom to share.

I did a 7-mile run around campus last night, and yoga this morning. I still need to solve the gym dilemma, though. I'm wasting away!

I also got a mention today in the local paper for a run I led last weekend.

A Great Day in the Woods

Saturday I took part in the Tussey mOUnTaiNBACK 50-Mile Relay. I ran two legs for the 12-leg relay, for a total of 10.4 miles. (You can read more details here.) I toughed out the big hill on Leg 4, and crushed the anchor leg (#12). I was tired when I got home, but I felt great the next day.

Sunday I mowed the lawn, and then played volleyball. There were only four of us against six, so that was a lot of running (we managed to win 1 of 3). Then this morning Sue and I did some yoga, and we'll probably run this evening: the Knights 5K is this Sunday.

Also, I was inspired by my teammates to put together some group runs, so I am discussing and planning with NVRC and CPR to make it happen.
