OK. That's it. Enough already!

STOP being scared to run again!

Yes, I'm giving myself a pep talk.

After a nearly 7 week layoff, I know I can't run 10 miles right off the bat. But I will start at 5K...this weekend. I've just got to pick up the habit again. I don't care how slow I am. Because...let's say it all together now, boys and girls...

I may not run fast...but I'm faster than the guy on the couch! :-)

I can't feel too bad. None of my other marathon teammates have run since August either. Some quit earlier than me! tsk tsk! They didn't have the lovely Norwalk and the flu/cough from hell, so they really didn't have to quit! LOL. Even NB, my sub-4 hour marathon friend, is currently running 5Ks after a layoff. Plus, I have my snazzy Garmin Forerunner, my shiny new Mizunos and my semi-new Asics, it would be such a shame to let them collect dust :-)

Besides, this is Manitoba. It's gonna get cold soon. Might as well enjoy the moderate fall weather before the (GULP) snow flies! :-)

I'm going to have to update the blog header soon. It's not really appropriate here in MB. And I'll post some back-to-school pics of the kids. :-)
