Out of shape!
I won’t lie. Since moving to Columbia a little over a year ago my running has suffered. Even at my best I’ve only managed to put in about half of what I was doing in St. Louis and even that was spotty. At first I had three jobs and a full load of graduate classes to blame, but somehow seeing as I’m unemployed that excuse just doesn’t cut it anymore. That past three weeks have been a step up. The deal is even now something feels like it’s missing.
I think it’s structure.
I’m making a deal with myself. The first day of work (wherever and whenever that may be) I’m going to sign up for a marathon and start training. If I can’t get myself in racing shape then father time may have to step in here. Necessity is a powerful motivator. And, given my track record for the past year it might be the only one.
