oh my people - I have been out of it for a while.  I appreciate the well wishes that have been sent over the last few months or so.  I'm doing well. just haven't been in here.  Running is starting over once again but I'll keep plugging away.  I'm trying to decide what marathon to sign up for -- looking at an early May one in Tenn or NC.

Good to have you back Tim. I just read your blogs from last week. A marathon in the late spring sounds like a great way to get your mojo back.

From timp on Thu, Jan 15, 2015 at 11:20:40 from 159.63.144.194

Hey Rhett - thanks for not giving up on me :)

I didn't pull the trigger on a marathon yet - maybe tonight. Trying to mix family sports into it makes it more difficult. Wanted to take the family along to the Flying Pig in Cincinnati but found out softball tournament will be that weekend. So I need to find a closer one I can just go to myself.

day off from workouts-- but managed a good softball practice with Quincy after work.  Days are a little longer so if I goto work early and leave early we can get in a 45-60 min session.  Tryouts on Feb 8....

I should have run after we practiced but I just didn't.

So are you trying out for a softball team or just Quincy? Is Quincy your daughter?

From timp on Fri, Jan 16, 2015 at 13:11:27 from 70.193.129.141

Q is the little daughter....almost 11

Well I am back - at least today.  I got in 5 runs this week.  Fat and slow but I got in 5 runs, so I 'll take it.  I had 3 runs and 6 total workouts last week.  I'm trying to get back into running.  I'll never get back all the way, but I want to at least be consistent again and appreciate that I CAN get out and do it.
