Well, I am running another 10K today (Sunday). I’m not at all sure how I’ll do but as usual, will give it my best shot. It’s only an hour or so – longer with the drive, warm up, cool down and drive home, but only an hour of pain…<\/p>\n
The “team” of folks I have been running with have continued the Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday runs. The team is fairly fluid, but I know I will always have someone to run with when I show. I have run on the treadmill a few times, even gone a round or two with the elliptical, but for the most part have just been running 3 – 5 miles with the team. I’ve been struggling lately with the longer distances, but think that if I get my act together and start eating right, it will help me remove that barrier.<\/p>\n
Today’s 10K is the Carytown 10K. It’s a basic out and back course, but through a great little shopping district that is a favorite of mine. I’ve not run this race before, but am looking forward to the challenge.<\/p>\n
Lately, I have been so busy with the pool. We have been trying to get it ready to open (next weekend), and finishing up with the projects we started this fall. I continue to be amazed that out of the 220 member families, about 20 individuals have spent any time at all volunteering to get the pool ready. We’ve built a pavilion, torn up and replaced 1800 sq. ft. of decking, torn up 600 sq. ft. of concrete (jackhammer, etc.), all ready for opening. 20 people helping at all – about 10 with serious effort put forth. I only know it’s worth it due to the comments. But, I’m tired… too much time spent there and not enough on the things around my home. Good thing this is the last year on the board (and I will not continue on the board). Now, if I could only find the time to manage the website for the pool as well!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
