It's been a weird and busy year. There has even been some pleurisy involved. (Yes, pleurisy.)
I've run two not-so-great races lately: 26:38 for 14th at the St. Patrick's Day 8K; 1:13:50 for 16th at the National Marathon's half marathon. In the meantime, I'm focused on preparing for the inaugural Gettysburg North-South Marathon on May 1.
And yes ... some day soon I will write a proper blog post with recent training and hurried insights and all that jazz.
