Resurrection

Well, it's pitiful how long it's been since I've posted on this blog, or run with any consistency whatsoever. In fact, I went 44 days without running a step. However, this past week I managed to drag myself out for a 3.5 mile slog, and have gotten in equally painful runs of 3 and 5.3 miles since then. Let me tell you, a lot of fitness is lost with 6 weeks of no running. I'm hopeful that if I manage to string together a few weeks of consistent running that I'll get back into the swing of things and regain my fitness relatively quickly.

Speaking of running, the Foot Traffic Flat Marathon is on 7/4 and I really, really need to get off my butt and change over to the half marathon from the full. If I can make it even THAT far. Maybe I'll go for a PW instead of a PB.

Let's see, other news... our chickens are doing great, getting bigger all the time. They pretty much have free run in the backyard during the day, which is nice for them but a bit messy. Good fertilizer for the lawn but not the patio! The cat seems to be afraid of them, luckily. Our garden is doing well, although I'm regretting not planting any green beans this year - think it's too late to put some starts in the ground? We had a bumper crop of strawberries and blueberries, and the rasberries are slow and steady. Tomatoes and zuchinni have a long way to go though, but I guess it's not even July yet...
