And im back...

So I thought after the marathon I would end the blog...so I let it be for a bit...I mean why would you guys want to keep reading about my running???...especially with the biggest triumph already behind me...but I think I need the blog to keep me on track...

Since the marathon I have kept on truckin...I ran a half marathon 2 weeks later in Providence...supposedly your not supposed to even run for 14 days after the marathon...but it was back home and I was on a runners high...so why not? It was tough and I was certainly exhausted but I made it through...

Then...2 weeks later I ran a 200 mile relay with the City Sports crew from New Haven CT to Boston MA...CRAZY... I ran 17 total miles in 24 hours...highlight of the run was a tough 7 mile run at 2am outfitted head to toe in reflective gear...some points were actually tougher for me then the marathon...running on 3 hours of sleep with tough terrain...I was exhausted when I got home...slept for like almost 24 hours post run!

Next on the calendar was a half on the cape for the holiday weekend...but as it got closer and closer I got more and more exhausted...I realized I had been going without a break since marathon Monday and decided I deserved and NEEDED a break before training starts back up for the next 26.2; Chicago on 10.10! I totally enjoyed the break, I ate what I wanted and relaxed on the cape and enjoyed an amazing family cookout with smores to close out the holiday...I thought I would feel refreshed when we got back to Boston, but since I have had the hardest time getting motivated to get out and run again. 3 miles thus far this week with only the weekend remaining..so uninspired to say the least....

SOOO..that's why I am back on the blog...hoping it will help me stay on track as I begin some serious training again...new goals this go around too...stronger and faster finish in sight come October! So please keep reading and help keep me truckin through the HOT and HUMID summer months while you are all relaxing beach side!!!
