Its Easter

Hard to believe that I have not posted in over a month - lots has been happening over that time. I did run another half marathon in Atlanta which I will write a separate post on. For today, I just wanted to get the juices flowing again. It has been a busy month between vacations, travel for work, and getting the girls home for Easter. It seems like a whirlwind time period. It is time to settle in a bit, keep the travel in check and rest up. More importantly, it is time to get back on some running and eating routine that will result in getting back to a lower weight and get my speed back up to a reasonable pace. I am going to spend the next week getting prepared for a training program - the question that I need to answer at this point is if I am going to take on the training schedule for a marathon - it is a big commitment of time, but it also requires that I lose 30 pounds. There is no way that I can carry this weight for that amount of time safely. It would help if our weather would get a little better. Right now it is cold and snowy. We had a inch of snow on the ground this morning - its Easter for goodness sake.

Oh well, I am sure that the decision will be made over the next few days on the marathon - regardless, I am going to run another half marathon somewhere this year - I want to shoot for a better time than my other two. The girls want to train for the Rochester Half, which would be great, but we are looking at being in South Carolina at that time. It will all work out.

This Easter was pretty good - the girls came home and we were able to get to the early service - we missed having the sunrise service this year - they held it inside due to the snow. I do not feel as though I was able to spend any real quiet time this year to reflect on the true reason for Easter.

Well, we are driving down the thruway right now, just dropped one of the girls off at school in Syracuse - thought it would be a good time to start to write again. I will make sure that I get caught up this week.

Later
