Long Overdue Update
I've been lazy with this blog lately because I've been so busy with my novel and I'm back to following a semi-structured training program. I've been using my heart rate monitor on virtually all of my runs and my easy runs (60-70% heart rate reserve) and tempos (80-90% HRR) are getting faster and faster while staying in the appropriate zones. A good sign. I plan on running my first race on March 30 (5K). A little later start than normal but I took a little more down time in December and January so I don't want to rush things.
As for the novel. The second draft is finished and I have a few people reading it now. I'll wait for final feedback but if nothing else, I think it's a good story and I've had fun working on it.
