Day 14

Legs are definitely stiff and sore today, but I've felt worse. Trying to get up and move around as much as possible, but it's also a sweltering 95 degrees outside so I'm trying to spend as much time indoors too. Way too hot to do anything of any physical value. If I get the urge, may get on a treadmill for a walk later just to loosen up a bit. Need to mow the lawn, but no way I'm doing it in this heat!

Welcome

I ran my first race (a 5k) in 2005 as part of a training plan for what was to become my first half-marathon later that year. Running 13.1 miles was merely a bucket-list item for me at the time, and after a painful and grueling 3+ hour race I swore that I would never do it again.

All these years later I have now competed in over 25 half-marathons, 5 full marathons and countless triathlons. I never thought that endurance sports would ever be a part of my life. I mean, I couldn't even run a mile when I started this journey. Yet, here I am. Getting up at the crack of dawn in the 20 degree weather (or 80% humidity) to train with a great group of folks - all to compete in endorphin-inducing races that keep me young and humble.
