Yes, that's right -- I'm baaaaack.
Despite my recent sedentary behavior, the running bug is alive and well inside of me (I'm sure of it!). At the very least, the Team in Training bug has kicked in full-force, which is enough to get me going!
This year I'll be training for the ZOOMA Annapolis half-marathon, which is the first weekend in June, so my training period will be extended by about a month. I don't want any lingering injuries, therefore I'm going to:
1. Stretch more
2. Get my hip/knee/ankle joints checked out by a sports medicine professional early on
3. Break in a new pair of shoes about halfway through the season
In addition to my own running, I have the honor of being a TNT Mentor this season! I'll provide guidance and support for a group of runners on the Virginia team. I've already been in touch with a few of them and am looking forward to getting to know them, as well as the rest of the team, better when the season starts with kickoff next weekend.
