...and we're baaaaack!!!

Wow. What a crappy winter. Between the freezing, thawing, more freezing, unemployment through December, I got sick again and got way low on the motivation scale.

The new job is intensely crazy, with way too much work and only one person to do it - me. But I'm making money, spring is peeking in, and the sunlight and warmth is a welcome respite from the cold and gloom of another harsh winter.

I'm still finding my legs, having only managed a couple of runs in the month of January and a couple more in February. March has been good so far, and I'm intending to run a half marathon in April...the full marathon will just have to wait.

It's going to be an odd season. After the huge goal I set for myself last year, I really don't have a solid goal set for this year. I'm just going to do the races that look interesting and see how I fare. I'm thinking of getting back to the off-road stuff a little more. My favorite race, Trail Shark has been defunct since the 2006 edition, but there are some Xterra races in Indiana that I have been eyeing for the last couple of years. Maybe this year I'll go do them...of course, I'll want a new bike for that :-)
