Kicked off the new year at a steakhouse, and finished dinner with the A1c-crumpling “Chocolate Indulgence.” I actuall wrote “A1C?” on the side of the plate… hope the person doing dishes is diabetic, and laughing still at my choco-scribe.
I’m back, and what I got for Christmas was some rest - my strained groin from last year has returned, and I’ve been giving up some miles in exchange for a healthy body - and it made me realize that training for marathons is hard on the body - so I’m planning to drop the March 1 Napa Valley Marathon in exchange for another challenge…. my first 70.3. For those wondering, it’s 1.2 miles of swimming, 56 miles of biking, and 13.1 miles of running. (followed by 24 ounces of beer drinking goodness!) I’m still committed to my running first and foremost, but want to tackle this beast next year!
