New year, new coach, new attitude

Wow.

Has it been a year since I blogged last? Funny, in my blog of October 7, 2008 I had just finished the Cowtown Half-Marathon and claimed to know more kinds of pain than Eskimos have words for "snow."

One year later, I just finished the Cowtown again (more on that story tomorrow--very motivational) and the pain now compares to the Eskimo word for "MANmythighshurt!"

But the 13.1 mile run didn't hurt my fingers so I have no excuse for the lack of blogging. I'm back in the saddle now, thanks to a great new coach who figures to have me on target for a speaking career more successful than I ever imagined.

I'm glad to be back. Thanks for being so patient.

Three months later...

...and 40 pounds lighter, I ran the Cowtown Half-Marathon on Sunday. "Ran" isn't quite the right word. More like "jogged impressively."

I finished the 13.1 miles in 2 hours, 20 minutes. Glad I did it and I might try a full marathon in a couple of months. Right now, I know more kinds of pain than Eskimos have words for "snow."
