Endless excuses

Updates have been few and far between since last Thursday and for that I sincerely apologize. The blame for this can be placed on a number of factors, including but not limited to, a steady increase in training mileage, the incessant scratching of the two dozen or so mosquito bites that are covering my legs, the tedious transfer of 128 phone numbers to my new cell phone, an inadvertent swallowing of 8 oz of spoiled milk and the gastric distress it is now causing, as well as the two outstanding newspaper articles that are fast approaching their respective deadlines. To top it all off, I'm now back at work after a brief one day sojourn away from the store. Suffice to say, there probably won't be much updating going on here for a few days until I can whittle down the above list or at least stop visiting the bathroom twice an hour. Thanks for your understanding.

Quote of the day:

Running has always been a self-motivation thing for me. You keep plowing away at it and, hopefully, you’ll accomplish the things that make you feel satisfied at the end of the day. If people take notice, that’s great. But you’ve got to be self-motivated.
