So for my loyal followers, or should I say follower, I have officially signed up for the San Francisco Half Marathon in July.
I was happy that I was able to get a spot in the first, and more scenic, half of the marathon. I would have added a count down on my blog page but in my limited goofing off time, I can't figure it out.
My blog is evolving from the ramblings of an auditor to the ramblings of a running CPA. I am sure that over the next 10 weeks, my blogs will focus on my training for this event. Hopefully in ten weeks I will have a good bit of information on my blog that I can use in my autobiography. (If I don't make it though, I give my family permission to use all blog posts for monetary gain.) I am still working on the title of my autobiography, and rightfully so. I still have many chapters to go. Maybe I will call it "Jeff Patterson, A Book With Many Chapters". It would seem appropriate since my life changes from time to time. Perhaps this chapter would be titled "A Nerd on the Run".
Enough about the book, you'll hear about in a few years when I am on the lecture circuit. Training this week has gone fairly well, however, today was rough. I went to the Giants game (I guess technically it was a D-backs game) and didn't get home till very late. Yet I still woke up at 5:15 and put on my running shoes and headed out the door. Today was a three mile "easy" run. (My training table uses the work easy, not me.) It went OK but I am glad that tomorrow is a rest day. Sunday is another 7 miler, so hopefully I will see some improvement.
Next week will be interesting because I will be out of town the whole week. I am expecting to get back in town Friday in time for dance, then Saturday morning I have a 5K run. So next week, I have to stay focused and on track. The thing that worries me the most is that when out of town, the company pays for meals and it sure is easy to eat a lot. It will be a challange to me to not only eat modestly, but to eat healthy. I am still trying to slim down and hope that running about 20 miles a week will help shed the pounds.
