Here's the recap of how my mini-marathon training has been going:
Okay, about 6 months ago, I got a hair-brained idea that I could run a half marathon (13.1 miles). I have many online friends that run. And with thier encouragement I signed up to do the Indy-Mini on May 3rd. I knew I could never really run it but I thought between running and walking I'd finish with a respectible time. I started training in February and did great. Then at the first of March I was sidelined with sciatic pain. With muscle relaxers, stretches and electric stimulation I was walking upright again after two weeks and in time to go on vacation. Basically, the month of March was a wash. So, the month of April has been a whorl-wind of training. Now, my goal is just to finish. There is a 4 hour cut off. At this point, I'm walking 6 miles in 1 hour, 50 minutes and I can run two miles in 31 minutes. So, I think I can make it if my back holds out. So, everybody keep me in your thoughts, prayers and well wishes. (I'm going to need it!)

Not much change here. Just extremely busy at work, doing taxes, working on the town business and trying to fit exercise in. Luckily, I'm so busy that I have no problem falling to sleep at night. I'm also on a mission to get my house spotless. I'm the town clerk and all the town records for the past 4-5 years are in my house. What a mess! Well, I finally got permission to set up an office in the town building. So, as soon as I get the computer armoire put together and move the mess down there, I get my office back/tv room/exercise room back. Right now, it's just to depressing to go up to that room. I don't function in choas well. It's part the reason/excuse I didn't use my treadmill that much this winter.
Anyone reading at all. I feel so alone.....(drama queen). Please leave me a comment!
