Starting again

So it has been awhile since I have written anything here, but in an effort to start anew with running, I will start too, with writing. The last time I actually laced up my running shoes and ran was January 1st. Henry and I did the First Run 5K. I did pathetically and with the weather being miserable and starting classes, I stopped running completely. Henry on the other hand has been going like gangbusters. He has continued running, a lot. He ran his first marathon yesterday and did awesome. His time was 3:21:13 or something like that. He came in 31st in his age group and 101st out of 800 or more total runners. I never knew he was so fast. The only downside was that he did not get the time needed for the Boston Marathon. He was 13 seconds shy of qualifying. I am very sad for him, although 13 seconds is not going to be hard to make up at all, so his next marathon will be it. He is already planning.

So all his success has inspired me again to dust of the old shoes and start up again. I have no excuses.
