St Louis has a marathon in April. I'm considering racing in the half version. I have attempted half marathons in the past, but I got thwarted every time. Once, the race coordinators told us the day of the race that they had shortened the trail run to 11 1/2 miles because people got lost when they made it 13.1. Another time, my knee started bothering me, and I took time off to let it heal. I even trained for a half-ironman which includes a half marathon as the last leg, but I didn't do that because i got mono two weeks before. So even though this would be my first half marathon, I have trained for them before. I haven't trained for a race since summer of last year. I miss it. The 5k I raced in on Friday (i placed 3rd) was a good reminder of how much fun I have at races, even if it's sleeting and I know nobody there. I think I'll start training now, and if all goes well over the next month, I'll make it official by registering. I just want to have a good month of solid training before I commit myself to something I may not want to do. Yes, this is normal for me, a way of decision-making that puts it off until the last minute, a way of seeing too many conflicting possibilities. It's a wonder I ever do anything, and always a slow process.
Two weeks until my hearing. I would explain more about the hearing and what would happen, but I'm not entirely sure. I will be questioned, but I don't know if I'm bringing witnesses, and I'm pretty sure I don't have to prepare much of anything. I'm not even sure if there's a judge or jury, just that there will be an investigating officer and that it is not an adversarial trial. I'm not too concerned, actually. I'm not sure if this is overconfidence, a sense of peace, or a feeling of having kept my hand in the hot water so long that my nerves stopped telling my brain about the pain. I know that running and biking have always been a way to clear my head, and I think that re-introducing one of them into my life could be excellent therapy.
by the way, peaches still give me a sugar rush, and I break out in laughter, as if it were a rash.
