A Little Layoff

It's been over a week since I last poster, and I do not have much to report. I've been doing a little bit of running, but mostly I've spent my days inside, avoiding the rain. Three days and counting so far, and no end in sight. It almost makes me wish for snow. Almost.

Last weekend I was complaining about the cold. The Creepy Crawl 5K was held on the a very frigid day, and the strong winds made it almost intolerable. I finished second, but I'm pretty sure Batman and Spongebob Squarepants would have given me a run for my money had they opted for shorts instead of costumes. My time was a little slower than expected (19 minutes or so), but still faster than I was at the beginning of the year, so I'll take it.

I'm really trying not to fall off the running wagon, so I've started looking at the 2011 race calendar. I've currently have my eyes on a couple of indoor meets, with the hopes of running a few 3000 meter races between now and spring. It probably won't prepare me for a May marathon, but it should bring my times down for the shorter distances. Fingers crossed.

That's it for now. If you're in the Saint John area November 18 and are looking for something to do, my band Penny Blacks is playing at the Blue Olive. I don't usually plug my bands here, but it should be a really good show. You can find more details here! Expect another running post soon!
