...lie down forever lie down. That is the opening line of the Georgetown fight song, and it seems rather apt following my month long hiatus from blogging. It's been a crazy month. I've said goodbye to a LOT of friends, entertained visitors, and recruited a new roommate- my brother Chris. As usual, I've seen the standard business trips and an awful lot of rain.
But we're just under three months away from my next race- The North Face 100 in Singapore. I've teamed up with my friend Amy, who legs are about as long as my entire body, as Trail Trouble- greatest team name ever! This time, I'm actually going to do some significant training and aim to run the entire race. The point of this is to figure out if I actually like these ultramarathons, or if the appeal of the Gobi lay more in the escape from my blackberry and spectacular scenery.
So now, basically I'm back trying to figure out the meaning of my life and get some exercise at the same time. There's new urgency as friends get married, have babies, and head back to the US, and I move firmly into my late 20s on August 16th and need to look hot in all those bridesmaid dresses.
Trail Trouble's training has gotten off to a bit of a slow start due to typhoons and travel schedules, but independently we have explored cities ranging from Tokyo to Istanbul (NOT Constantinople...ha) in our running shorts and asics. We enlisted lots of training partners and hopefully will be more than ready come Oct 24th...
