Look out Las Colinas...
I like to change my mind. Last weekend's 5k was a fun 31 minutes and 22 seconds around two of the icons of Dallas, Fair Park and the Cotton Bowl. I remembered to take my flip camera and recorded almost the entire day including the run. I cut it down to about 30 minutes worth of clips and only lack the musical accompaniment before it's finished. As I was leaving the race I noticed a flier on my windshield for the Wounded Warrior 1/2 Marathon in June. So it's back to training! Taking a month off from running sounds nice, but 3 weeks has been long enough. I signed up for the 10k since I doubt I'd be ready for a half in 8 weeks. Training starts tomorrow!

NOT RUNNING ANYWHERE FOR A WHILE?
I'll be honest, I've fallen off the wagon. I have not run since the big move and have a 5k coming up on Sunday. Luckily I have been hitting the gym pretty hard so my fitness level hasn't completely gone away. (Is there such a thing as a fitness level or am I making that phrase up?) I've decided to take a sabatical from running until the end of May so I can focus on school and try to put on some muscle in the gym.
MY FIRST DOCUMENTARY...
I'm going to film my entire race day on Sunday, from the moment I get up to the moment I make it to my car after the race festivities are through. I think I'll just cut it up into clips, speed it up, and set it to music.
HERE'S MUD IN YOUR EYE!
I feel pretty good about myself because I talked 4 of my coworkers into running the DFW mud run in November. Now getting them to train so they don't fall out during the event will be another task.
