October 2007

A month's gone by, more or less, since I've last written. Not that it matters, it's just that it's been a pretty busy month and I've found myself doing other things instead of whittling away time in front of the computer.

I attended product training for my company for the first ten days of the month. It was in Memphis. Lots-o-butter. I did a very hilly 10 Mile race (read: very challenging) while there and got beat by one of two bearded bully brothers. I rode with a former Olympic Trials cyclist the day before (who made an otherwise in shape athlete -me- feel like an out of shape couch potato chump), and I was wearing my Asics 2120 trainers - so no benefit from lightweight flats. So, I felt pretty good finishing up at one hour and thirty-three seconds.

The rest of the month has been all about eating lots of small confections of the Mars and Nestle corporation, feeling like crap because of it, and as a result gaining 7-10lbs. Ah yes, it is Halloween a-coming, and I need to fatten up for the winter.

I'll be racing a 10K this weekend, one that I've placed second in previously, so we'll see where my fitness is.
