So, what have I been doing since my last marathon? In the running world, not much. I ran the Disney Half Marathon in January, the Gate River Run in March, and the Vestcor Bridges 5K in July. And that's it. Seriously.
Why have I been such a slacker? Because my wife and primary cheerleader took so much time off. Roughly nine months. That's right, I have expanded my empire to include one more crazy Carlson -- James William, born 7/30/2009.
And, yes, he is Super Cute. But now I'm back, and I've been running for the last month. I'm still doing the Galloway method, but I have lost *every* bit of endurance I had from the last marathon, so I'm starting from even lower than I did last time. I'm running in the 3/1 group (my magic mile was 9:56), and it's hurting, but I'm doing it. Last weekend was six miles, including bridges. Serious ouch, but I did finish.
Hopefully, I'll get back to writing this on a more regular basis. But this is my true announcement.
I'm back for more!
