Yep.
The running shoes are in the closet.
I might be riding shotgun on the Excuse Train, buy to be honest, my life has been turned upside down (separation, move out of house, sadness) and now I live full time in Strawberry.
Hey, its cold here! There’s snow today! Great excuses? Not really.
People have written telling me how therapeutic running is. Sounds nice.
So my goal is just to do one run the next day I see sunshine (and the roads are not a muddy mire here).
Oh, yes, ther blog shall not be renamed “I Love Running”- the hate is still there, not a nasty evil “hate”, just a “I cannot pretend I dont feel this way” hate.
Did you know... "Diabetic retinopathy causes from 12,000 to 24,000 new cases of blindness each year" (from National Diabetes Fact Sheet)

sorry to hear things are a bit topsy-turvy. hang in there–you may just be my inspiration to get off my duff and at least get on a treadmill!

ok, well i completely understand you not being motivated and all but i need your butt out on the road for my own selfish reasons. i’m going to do my damndest to boston qualify this year and i need my long distance blog-running-buddy to do it. knowing the battle you face every run pretty much drains my lacksidasical excuses of any weight.
whenever that sunshine day shows up, get your shoes on and out there on the road because i wanna be in hopkinton, mass on april 21, 2009 and i need your help to get there.

I’ll be back, Kleph, you can have my support, though I am not aiming to qualify for anything. It wont be til after March 1 since I am all packed and ready to go to Vancouver for an extended trip and there are no shoes or shorts in my bag.
When March comes around, I will lace up.

Hey, I’m a fellow runner who found your blog. Congrats on the first marathon. As far as everything else, I’ve always found that running is a great time to get my thoughts in order. Can’t wait to hear about when you get back to running. I’ll stay in touch.

Hi, Alan,
Hope things improve for you. Even if you’re not running, I hope you’re finding ways to ease your stress level.
Best wishes.
