I'm Back...

Nearly 15 months later and I'm back! I think the move to Chicago in August '09 threw my blogging off. One marathon, half marathon and summer running group later, I'm back. Committed to blogging and committed to running.

My near short term goal is the Pittsburgh YMCA Turkey Trot. This year they are bringing back the 5 mile course. The past two years the course was just a 5k. Two weeks ago I made time for 15 miles, and while this week was a little more hectic, I squeezed in almost 9.

It was great being back in D.C. this weekend and doing an early morning run on Saturday before heading out to the wineries for Callie's birthday celebration. I did 5 around the Lincoln Memorial and Gtown and Mark, Tom and Chad did about 11. My new Lululemon Inspire Pullover was awesome!

Afterwards, we got breakfast at one of our favs Corner Bakery. I got the American Scrambler which is surprisingly gluten free. We drank lots of wine on a gorgeous day at Bluemont Vineyard and then Sunset Hills. After coming back to Matt and Callie's apartment, Kortney, Andy and I hit up Lyon Hall to get some food. We couldn't believe they had Dogfish Head Punkin Ale on tap.

After an early morning flight and a day of drinking, I am proud to say th

at I did a 3.75 m run this afternoon when we got back to Chicago.

Week 3 of Turkey Trot Training comin' up!
