So sick from all my job interview travels.  I've been down and out for 4 days now.  It looks like I won't be in shape again before I move from here, which kind of makes me sad. I really wanted a couple good races before I leave.

On a positive note, I have two job offers but I'm waiting around for my #1 choice. Should hear from them within a week or so. This search has been extremely complicated to say the least, and I am so ready for it to be over so I can finally get a good nights sleep.

Brushed the dust off my running shoes (literally) and officially began attempt #3 of getting in shape this year.  More importantly, I enjoyed being outside on this beautiful first day of Spring, and taking some time to myself to not think at all about dissertations or job searches! 

20 minutes. mileage just an estimate.  Hope to do 2 more 20 minute runs this week, then bump up to 30 minutes next week, and so on. But we'll see what happens.

If anyone reads this I would love your two cents.  I am completely out of shape. Would it be crazy to jog a 10k this weekend? How soon is too soon for 6 miles? I think I can do it but it will hurt.  I just don't want to get injured.  I'll go really slow.  Can a marathoner run 6 miles when completely out of shape, or should they start low like everyone else?

Over 4 miles at sub-8 pace! Woot Woot.  I'm pretty surprised I was capable of that honestly. I actually think I will make it through the 10k this weekend. I think I'll start off 8:30-9 minute pace and then go from there.  

The weather is absolutely perfect for running right now. I am just trying to appreciate being outside and thinking about something other than my job search and dissertation. Although that is tough to do right about now.  

Hope everyone had a great day!

Today was the Springtime 10k, the largest race in Tallahassee. We had about 2000 people run this year.  I was convinced to run by some of the people I train with here. They needed one more person on their team.  I had two goals: finish, and don't do anything dumb.

I went out in 7:15 pace, which was dumb.  But I was able to hold a respectable pace and finish in about 46 minutes. I forget my time and didn't wear a watch.  I am pretty happy... this was my longest run in 2010! Hopefully I will have time to keep building on the little base that I have.   

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
