Wow, that was cool.
Anyway, I haven't been here lately, but I have been many other places! I am running. I am practicing yoga regularly, and I'm learning. I work hard, and I'm having a really good summer around all this cool stuff I'm doing.
My running has changed, though, since my last post. I ended up taking most of May off, which was kind of a shock after logging many miles/week. June saw me slowly building up mileage, ditto July, and now here we are at the beginning of August. I'm not where I was, but I'm not so sure I want to be. I've been practicing yoga, and I'm coming to this conclusion:
Yoga is great for running (and pretty much everything), but running is not great for yoga.
I'm not going to stop running, I just dig it too much. I'm just not so enticed by running for any particular purpose....I just like to run. Even jog. Cruise.
I don't know what's going to happen, but I do know I'm signed up for the Chicago Distance Classic and I feel rather unprepared (but I think I'll finish with some self-respect). I've also got the Chicago Marathon, and I'd sure like to participate in that. I'm just kind of worried about my lax attitude, and the fact that lots of running doesn't really allow me to progress the way I think I can in my yoga practices.
Like everything everywhere, it's a matter of balance, and a matter of always finding it.

(that is really cool, huh?)
