Just Keep Running

I don't know how many people who read this or follow this blog, but I am training for a half-marathon. Running has always been a long-time hobby of mine. I have ran lots of 5k's and the occasional 10k, so I decided to take it up another notch and try something more difficult.
So I sit and relax for another day after running. Even though I am still in my first week of training, my morning runs are great. As much as I would love to stay in bed and sleep, running in the morning is a good wake-up and start to the day. Now when I run over the weekends, that will be a different story, obviously I'll have to run after work.
I'm still not quite sure how I ended becoming a runner. I tell people that it was just one day I ran home from school, which was about 4-5 miles and ran the whole time and here I am today, still going. I've taken breaks from time to time and somehow fallen back into it. There was a time when I did swim for about 2 months and I enjoyed swimming but came back to running.
I come across people who find me odd for running around the neighborhoods and streets of Springfield instead of tread-mills. Besides the fact that running stationary is just boring and sometimes painful, running in the streets is a semi-adventure. Sometimes just going out for a run and being in areas you've never seen before is fun. I'd someday love to get my stamina up and just run for several miles out in some scenic area. Excercising my heart and body while exercising my eyes and imagination. Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend.

Long Time, No Update

Well here I sit at home and update about something. Not a whole lot has gone on since last posting. Football and soccer season are starting up, I'm super excited about both. The World Cup was great. I watched a lot but still think I missed a lot of games.
I start training for my half-marathon next week. I'm looking forward to running in it. The race is November 7, happy early birthday to me.
Summer for Brandy is almost over and this has been a great summer. I was great just to spend time all summer with her.
Well that's all for now. When an idea pops in my head about a good post, I shall post. For now just enjoy this little snipit.
