Full of Updates!

I will try to update more frequently now that I will have semi-regular access to the Internet on a computer instead of just on my phone! I've missed it!

First news: I got a job!! It is something that (so far) I really enjoy doing, it fits perfectly with my schedule, it's laidback, AND it pays really well (which I'm sure my bank and my landlord will appreciate!). Now I can finally start getting back to some semblance of a normal budget and not have an ucler by the time I turn 25!!

Second news: I have a fantastic DBF!! :)

And now for the running update...

I am signed up for the Seattle 1/2 Marathon on November 28. I had wanted to make the full marathon a yearly tradition, but I just didn't feel like I had the base to build up for it properly after the crazy summer I had. So, I am going to try for a PR, which is unlikely given the hills, but I am still going to run it as hard as I can. I'll be happy with anything under 2:25 or so on that course!

Training has been going well (knock on wood) - I've been consistently putting in long runs, easy runs, hill runs, and tempo runs. I ran 11 miles on Monday, and I'll do 6-8 on the hilly part of the course on Sunday as a cutback week. Can't wait! After that, my next big goal is the Chuckanut Mountain 50K in March, and then getting my revenge on the Wenatchee Marathon in April. Then I'll start gearing back up for summer tri season and get that 1/2 Ironman under my belt!
