Foiled Again

I think it's probably time that I give up on my dream of running around the local high school track again. I did everything right today and still wasn't able to run the track. I got there long before it closed, but apparently not early enough to beat the girl's soccer teams that were just about to start a game. So I had to make up a Plan B, again.

Last night I spent some time on the Half Fanatics website, looking up races. I've only signed up for the Dallas Rock 'n Roll half marathon, and I need to get a few more races on my calendar. There was one race in early February that I was interested in, but afraid that I couldn't get ready for 13.1 in 2 weeks. I had to get in a double digit run today to find out.

So I passed the track once more and pushed on to find a greenbelt that I knew wasn't too far away. I got in several miles before turning around and heading home. I stopped at the gym and filled up on water, took a bathroom break, and lifted a few weights before finally making the trek home. It was a good run, and I kept a good pace. I'm ready for my first race of 2014!
