Quick Update 5-29-14

Well I apologize for being very tardy on this post, but I've been preoccupied with another passion of mine (comics) as well as a recent trip back to Texas (I apologize to those I missed on that trip btw)

So there have been a few shakeups since my last post. For one, the same hamstring has been bothering me, but I think that it's quite manageable this time and hopefully when I go run this weekend, it'll make it out okay. The second is that with an anniversary trip planned (tentatively) at some point this year with my wonderful girlfriend, and the imminent move to my own place, it now appears that the Las Vegas Marathon will have to wait...perhaps. However, there happens to be a race the next month in San Antonio (which also happens to be a part of the Rock n' Roll series) and this looks to be a much more possible destination. It's kinda disappointing, but I'm still holding out hope that Las Vegas still happens, but those chances appear quite bleak, unless of course things just happen to break the right way. With that said, San Antonio is a fine destination...buuuut it doesn't offer the glitz and glam of being in Vegas and well it looks like that may have to wait another year.

Perhaps next year we all decide to change our destination race, there are lots of races that offer different things, so hopefully we can all make that trip to our destination race.

So as I write this post, somewhat disappointed but slightly optimistic, I bid you happy running and until next time.

Time to Get Nasty

So very sorry for being late with my posts as of late, but I've been preparing for a much needed road trip to visit family and friends back in Texas. Either way I appreciate everyone that's read my blog, with that said on we go.

So you may be a bit perplexed by the title of this post. No I'm not talking about any sexual innuendos of any nature, this is more a long the line that Tom Berenger's character Jake Taylor says to himself during the last at bat in the classic movie "Major League"

For those that have been paying attention, you may remember that I had been nursing a nagging hamstring injury and while it may not be completely 100% healed, I'd say it's well enough to start training again. So with less than 6 months away, I have to regain the form I had prior to taking off 3 weeks from running. Missing that time has been a b**ch to be honest. I've started to lose my mojo a bit and now that I'm able to train once again hopefully I regain that soon.

So with that said, it's time to get nasty.
