When I started this blog my goal was to update it at least once a week, or maybe more depending on how motivated or creative I felt. As you can see, that has not been the case. I do, however, feel a renewed sense of motivation and inspiration to continue this project, so onward and upward we go!
Currently, I am not in competition shape nor am I officially training for anything. In fact, it has been over a year since I ran at near-max effort. On August 14, 2011, I was proud to earn a top 1% finish with a 6:52 min/mile pace for the Rock 'n' Roll Chicago Half Marathon. Running a sub 1:30:00 half was an accomplishment I was proud of at the time, but now all I can do is hit myself for not building off of that success and letting my training come to a halt.
At any rate, I'm starting back up. I am looking forward to publishing meaningful posts that will document how I got back into the routine and replaced bad habits with good ones.
