Running!

Well it has been an eventful couple of weeks on the exercise front here in Southern California. I got back into running about 2 weeks ago which was quite nice after a short sabbatical (I don't know if you can actually take a sabbatical from running). Anyway - I did my first trail run in a while in the Santa Monica Mountains. It was a lot tougher than I imagined because I am not in that great of shape, but I made it about 6 miles or so. Then this Thursday I pulled a hammy playing beach football. The worst part about it is that I missed the bomb that I was going for when I did it too. Ok, that really isn't the worst part, but now I am sidelined from running for a bit. It seems to be healing quickly so hopefully it will be ok to run on in less than a week.
On a more positive note I got a road bike about a week ago and have started biking and swimming and sort of training for a triathlon. I don't know when or what one I am going to do, but I am training anyway. It has been a lot of fun and I can bike just fine with an injured hamstring. I did a 44 minute ride this morning south along the coast which was a fun ride down to LAX almost.

Well - hopefully I will be running again Monday and Tuesday if my healing goes well!

Also - Sherstin and I were discussing doing a half marathon in St George in January. I am pretty sure we are going to sign up. I will keep doing some triathlon training but focus more on the running to make sure I am ready for a good half. It has been quite a while since I have raced a half marathon so I am excited.
