I haven't had a chance blog much at all, especially about running. Yesterday, I finihsed the The Half, a half marathon here in Dallas around White Rock Lake and surrounding neighborhoods.

If you have been out of running for awhile, get back into it. The last couple of months, I've been able to devote some of my freetime and it's allowed me to:

• Reconnect with my running buddies

• Outlet for a very hectic work schedule as of late

• Get out and enjoy those cool mornings of Fall

• Work off some of that Halloween candy I keep steeling my kids stash

My next plans are to work out a schedule to begin training for the AT&T Austin Marathon, coming up on Feb. 18 ^th, 2007. My only goal is to shed the lbs that I've gained since my last 3:53 marathon a few years ago.

btw, since I've found a couple of great running resources on the web:

• http://www.steverunner.com – Excellent PodCast called Phedippidations

• http://www.buckeyeoutdoors.com – Training Log website to track your runs and results

I can't say enough about Phedippidations. It's a great motivational podcast with excellent tips and running info. Just give it a try sometime, and you'll be hooked.
