Back from a week-long excursion to the FROZEN TUNDRA (ie: my parent's place up in Minnesota where it dropped to almost 40 degrees BELOW ZERO). It's still "chilly" here in Huntsville - 20 degrees [above zero], give or take if you're sitting in the sun or stuck out in the wind - but still a significant improvement. Yes, I did slip on the ice a couple times and I have new bruises and a sore ankle for my acrobatic efforts but nothing serious and it's back to the gym as normal this week.
Exactly four weeks until my event!!!!
Definitely getting excited!!!
At this point I've firmly decided I'm only running the half marathon. I'm just not ready to run a full 26.2 miles and even if it might be physically possible to push my once-athletic body into doing it anyway, I'm convinced I'll damage something serious and never get the chance to do a full marathon again/for a very long time.
Also, it means in four weeks I can back off running and start swimming more. I really really miss getting in the water a couple times a week.
Not going to back out now [not that I could if I wanted to], but I really think Triathlons are more my thing.
