God, it has been almost a year since the last time I posted. My running life has been on hold for a while. I guess it was the many long winter months that stopped me from lacing up the shoes. Sadly the last race I ran was back on New Years Day. Although it has escaped my life physically, running has not escaped me mentally. I think about it all of the time and only wish I had enough motivation to get out there and hit the streets. One of these days I'll just suck it up and get out there, I know it.

My plan is to try to get into the Twin Cities 10 mile race in October. It involves a lottery that opens in July for registration, so my participation will be up to the Gods, I guess. The hubby is doing the full marathon, which is run on the same day, so it would be great to both be out there running. In the meantime, I am still riding my bike...as much as I can...

The chain on my bike is faulty or something because it keeps falling off. The guy at the bike shop where I bought it told me that if it happens again, he'll give me a new bike. So he put the chain back on and I've been out on it 1 1/2 times. The 1/2 because the last time I was riding it, I got myself a nice big FLAT TIRE! Seriously, I cannot win. Once the inner tube is fixed, I'll be out on it again, but right now all I want to do is give it a big hard kick in the frame!
