I've got an itch.
The past two days I've had the itch to get out and run. Not my little walk/run thingy. Full on run. Hardcore...go out and push yourself...get your blood pumping...heart throbbing...run like someone is chasing you at gun point type run. I'm pretty certain I won't make it very far with my left side still being all tight despite my stretching. But that's okay. Because I want to go out and get my legs moving. I miss it. I actally can't wait to get back out there again. I'm excited for group training to start back up. So tonight, when I get home from work, I'm going to lace up my running shoes and run...on the treadmill (blech). Now it may only be for a mile or two, since it's my first time at it since my marathon, but that's okay. And even though I'm soooooo not a fan of the treadmill, it'll at least get me up and going again...and at this point, that's all I care about. It's just a little too chilly for me to be outside with this head cold coming on.
I can't wait for group training to start up again. There's something about going out with a group of runners on a crisp saturday morning that makes it THAT much easier to wake up early. I wish I had the drive and energy (and good night sleep) to get up and work out BEFORE the work day begins. But alas...I love my sleep too much.
Taylor and I had every intention of doing the stairs in her building during half time of the Kansas game last night. But after the day that I had...I needed a beer. And with that single beer (which tasted, SO.INCREDIBLY.GOOD.) I blew the entire stair plan. But Kansas did come from behind to beat Texas A&M, in case you were wondering and this Saturday we take on Iowa State...I'm debating whether I should sleep in this weekend or get up and do a few miles (which is sounding pretty good!). We'll see how I'm feeling...
And for your reading pleasure...2005 Marathon Stats...pretty interesting stuff.

Fun stats site... inspirational. :)
Congratulations on completing your 1st marathon (albeit a little late in posting). I'm glad to hear that you are already considering another marathon.
excelente, the first run since the marathon. it will feel so good. when's your next one, anyway?
by the way, i was hysterically laughing when i read your post. i was convinced when i was on that puppy that was going to happen to me.
I found your old blog... have to ask, do you like the Garmin? I am thinking of buying one (just $99 at Amazon) and wondered if it was worth the price. I'll need something, my current 'sports' watch doesn't do splits or anything.
If I go 2 days without running I go nuts! However I have yet to run a marathon so who knows what will happen after that milestone. Great that you want to do another! Double yay for beer - that does tend to get in the way of my running sometimes as well!
Great stats!
