Still easing into things. Translation: still being a lazy slob. Although now that Becky and I aren't traveling over Columbus Day Weekend we may be able to head up to Hartford to do the 5K, which could be really fun. Would much rather be in the kind of shape to attempt to run the half marathon (not to mention the full), but maybe an event will be the kick in the ass I need to start taking this all a little more seriously. And I don't just mean the challenge I set up for myself, but moreso the whole not living life as a fat sweaty bastard thing.
Speaking of events, got an email this week about the first ever Massachusetts version of Reach the Beach next May. Details:

Talked briefly to Jen about this on Thursday night. Seems only fitting that I drag her into this if it's something I go forward with as she is the one that got me into this whole running thing to begin with. And it would be great to get Drew to join in to relive the '08 RTB in New Hampshire. And that is about the extent of my running circle. I would love for Becky to join, but don't really see it happening. Gotta start thinking about who we can get to join the dream team because I would love to do this one again before committing to another marathon next fall.
Although Jen and I also briefly discussed going all in with TNT for Rome if it's on the schedule for the Spring. Not sure if training for that would constitute cheating on my 1000 miles in 365 days...might have to think about that as the goal of this whole thing is to run on my own without the promise of a finish line as part of a lifestyle change and not just a running binge, which has been my MO the past few years.
Lots to think about. Back at it tomorrow morning.
