Hey everybody.  Sorry for the disappearing act, but i was on a 2 week business trip to Vienna and Moscow (which was pretty cool).  When I was in Russia especially, it was hard to get online for anything other than communicating with my family or for work.  I will tell you that training for a marathon/goofy while doing international travel really sucks.  But i was able to squeeze in a 15 miler last weekend on a treadmill in the basement of the hotel.  Not a fun way to spend a morning I can tell you.  I was also able to put together 5 or 6 workouts out of 12 days of travel, which is about as good as I was expecting.  I'm feeling pretty underprepared for goofy and will attempt to put in 19 tomorrow.

Soooo... what did I miss?  Jillian, did you run your marathon yet?
Where are we going??  And why am I in this handbasket??

right now.  somewhere.  somebody is working harder than you.

Welcome back! As you saw on FB, the marathon is tomorrow, but it might as well be tonight since we are doing a 2am wake up to be in Jacksonville. We are just too cheap to leave tonight and get a hotel room.

"I'm feeling pretty underprepared for goofy"

Ha! I wish I was as under-prepared as you! I haven't run since Oct 27th and haven't worked out since Nov 5th, not counting a 17 mile easy bike ride on Nov 19th.

I thought for sure I'd get through this weekend without a headache and be able to start running tomorrow or Monday but my kid's play today give me a good one (too much noise and talking starting about 10 am this morning and only stopping half an hour ago). Gah!

I'm hoping I can get in two weeks of running before the race so I can at least get through the Half Marathon but it's not looking good.
