I haven't forgotten this blog. I'm still running and I even have a race coming up in a week and a half that I hope to PR in. Now that I am no longer training for a marathon I don't have near the motivation to write down everything that happens to me along a journey that I'm not taking.
Since I am already so close to my 500 mile goal (484 out of 500 as of 9/11) I decided to modify the goal to 600 miles for the calendar year. Barring an injury I don't see why I won't hit that goal either. 650 miles might be a much hard distance to reach but I think it would be still doable.
Speed training has been fun and I hope to see some positive results this fall in the races I have coming up. Cross training (Boot Camp) has been going good as well.
I've taken the plunge and signed up for a week long class in November to become a fitness Personal Trainer. I am taking the required CPR class this weekend. I also want to become a running coach and get certified in that as well. The 2014 schedule is already complete and most all the classes are full for the remainder of the year so I will just have to keep an eye out for 2015. Hopefully I can get in a class when they schedule a session in Dallas.
Perhaps I will move my blog in the direction of overall fitness and not just running. Running will still be a major part of the blog but not the sole subject.
