Hola, gente!

Poor blog...so long neglected...just like my running. My posting for 2009 for this blog=oh, nothing! To recap my year: I did the El Paso marathon, which I loved. I would whole-heartedly recommend the half or full to anyone. There was lots of food, beer, and screaming volunteers at each stop. Running (or jogging...or hobbling) a marathon is not that bad. Only a few hours of pain, and totally worth it for the bigger medal and more annoying bragging rights (you know, the "oh, my leg hurts because i did a marthon this weekend" kind of crap. believe me, i milked it dry).

The training is what sucks. If you don't mind spending the majority of your weekend running and then recovering, go for it! I will definitely do that race again when the planets align and my body's at a place where I can train.

In April, I completed the Unser 21k. Nothing spectacular about that race except that I was tired. It was only a few weeks after the marathon, and I had to walk the final three miles.

This year, I have the El Paso half on the schedule and nothing else definite. Plenty of maybes, though. Marathon to Marathon? Stay tuned. Happy new year!
