With summer coming on fast, I have more opportunity to be outdoors: running on the W&OD trail or on the roads by my gym on the weekend, taking in some sun at the swimming pool -- and taking a dip when there's a free lane. But I've also been adding in a modest amount of weight lifting lately -- 1 or 2 days a week. I'm also looking into getting back onto the rock wall periodically (once I find out what the schedule is). And just maybe exploring one of the classes offered at the gym.
As much as I like my running, and will continue with it as long as my legs will carry me, it is certainly a little stale -- more so when running on the treadmill than out on the W&OD. And I don't expect that marathons will ever get stale. Well... except maybe if I ever do another indoor marathon like the one I did years ago -- that got old really fast.
I'm looking forward to figuring out what next year's race schedule will be, but it will probably take some time before I can put some of those puzzle pieces together, given several of them are potential pacing gigs that I'm not a lock for. But getting overseas again, including one or more new countries I've never been to before, will be great.
