So, it has been a full month since my last post. This is very difficult for me to believe or understand. It is undoubtedly the longest going ap in my posting history since I began my blog\u00a0 7 years ago. So, I asked myself what explains this? First of all, it was immediately after my last post that we left Saint Augustine for the two-day ride home. That usually results in a gap right there. Then it has been such a miserable spring in terms of weather that the motivation to get out totrain has been very low. I have to say, even though the motivation was low, I did get out very frequently in the last 30 days.\u00a0 Looking at my records\u00a0 I find that I had 21 out of 30 days on which I did something to improve my fitness.\u00a0 Most of the workouts were somewhat shorter than usual but some quite difficult and demanding. The fact that I didn’t I think the workouts were veryproductive, or interesting for that matter,\u00a0 I just choose to let that day pass without blogging.\u00a0 Here it is a month later and I am preparing to run a 5K race tomorrow.\u00a0 Interestingly, the last sentence of my previous log was a reference to the April 10th, 5k race.<\/p>\n

I don’t have much confidence in my fitness level but we will see.<\/p>\n

STATS- Also have been lax in noting fitness stats\u00a0 \u00a0– YUCK<\/p>\n

But !!!!!!\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Motivation levels surged on Monday when I was notified by the Shore AC that I was chosen to run a leg on the Masters 4 x 400m relay at the Penn Relays on April 29th. Very excited!\u00a0 \u00a0Haven’t run at Penn since 1961.\u00a0 It’s time…….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
