Wow it feels like it has been forever since I posted anything here but in all honesty I feel like I’ve done you a disservice but not sharing what’s been going on in my running world.

2018 marked the first year since I began running that I didn’t take on a marathon. Not to say that I wasn’t registered but real life took precedence for my spring entry and an injury knocked me out for completing one one the fall. Life happens so I’ll just learn my lesson from trying to do too much and move on.

2019 though has had a lot of promise. I’ve considered this a rebuilding year for my own racing efforts and so far things have been going great. Not that returning to semi-serious training has been perfect or easy but overall I’ve been happy on how this is going. The first real test of my comeback came just last weekend at the Fargo marathon. The weather didn’t cooperate at all as it rained for what felt like the entire race and the wind seemed to be determined to stop you in your tracks. But I persevered and with a great cheering section behind me I was still able to shave 18 minutes off of my previous attempt in Fargo.

Moving forward though, some more tweaks to my training will be coming and I promise to share with you my experience. So please stay tuned and enjoy this adventure with me!

Running with you,

-Tom
