And it's not because I haven't been running. Or am lacking things to write about. It's more that I'm...going through a drought, a drought of creative juices.
I had an awesome run with my sister Emily the Saturday after the RunRaleigh half. She took me to the Monarch Levee Trail on a sunny, breezy, chilly Saturday. We talked about her plans to run the Disney World Marathon on January 13, 2013 (!) - rock on, lady!
The heat finally turned on in Goldsboro this past week, and James was ever so kind to slow down to run with me while I re-baptized myself in the heavy summer humidity of Eastern NC. He spliced an extra couple of miles into The Usual run, making our 4 miles a 10K.
And today's long run with James and David was just what I needed after staffing a booth for work handing out popsicles on a 90° day. It was cloudy and cooler, but humid and windy, and after a slow start, I hung pretty well with the boys on this 11-miler.
With no races scheduled in my immediate future, I think I'm going to try and focus on some rigorous cross-training as we are flung into summer. Some yoga, most definitely; some cycling, possibly?
Here's to the summer!
