Nice to see you back! I understand the struggle all too well and know that you'll get back to the place that is right for you.

Ever wondered why hind sight is so much clearer? You had a rough go of it for a few weeks but you're back out there and will get back up to speed - your speed. That's the only one that counts in the long haul. Hang in there!

Hey C! I have a rough trip report... I need to edit it and post it. It was a blast! Honestly, I'm really still working through it all. There is a big difference in individual stuff and team stuff and I did feel a lot of pressure to do much better than my norm. I'm not sure that's a good thing.

Hey Impressed!

I have no idea what happened with the comments thing. Glad to see it working now!

You're right, the relay is unique! I'm probably going to seek a few more out and see how it goes. I think team dynamics are everything in these events. As i said, I couldn't have gotten luckier with this draw, great people, but there were some with totally different desires and concerns. That can have an affect of sorts.

Anyway, good to see you!

I am glad to see the comments are working once again. I tried sending a note some time ago but no luck. Anyway congratulations on the relay. They are among the most entertaining of all races!

Hello

I enjoy reading your blog. You write very well. Congrats on all you've accomplished. Glad to see you are still plugging along. How about posting a race report?

Leave it to you to find a bar at the end of the line .

Or rather, just a stop along the way!

Yeah, this has been a different year, no doubt. I think in the long run I'm doing the right thing. I could have pressed on and done the 50K but I wouldn't have improved per say.

There are so many events I want to do and I need to have a little more cushion in the timing dept. I need to be able to drop down to 1/1's if I'm in trouble.

It's taken a while, but the last couple of weeks have finally felt right. I know for sure now that a lot of my barriers were put up by me. There are some real things there, but a lot was indeed fear.

On the food thing... You know, it's hard to explain. It's more about the butter and the grease and all the bad fats... thats probably fear based as well, but I can tell you my chitlins will be plenty messed up for several days after on of their meals! lol

Reading this I have and have not some sympathy. From peak to trough I have dropped about 25 pounds. Given I am only 5' 4" that is a lot! Your family is right in one sense, eating too much one day a month will not do too much damage. But you are right in that it DOES COUNT! The trick is to adjust during regular days. In my view a good day is one where I spend most of the day hungry and go to bed hungry. I pretty much guarantee that if you are willing do to do that day in and day out you will lose weight. Even if you binge on a the occasional holiday or not. (Yes, not is better.) From your last year's blog posts I think your races helped give you the incentive to you need to lose weight. I think that you can do it. Just how badly to you want to go faster? Badly enough to see food while hungry and decide it is not worth carrying around? I hope so. Your blog from last year was quite inspirational.

I have the same trouble with my family. Well meaning, but we speak different languages. Is salad a concept that you could introduce? The NY Times had an article last week on how new and cool vegetarian holiday dishes were -- maybe you could persuade them you're on the cutting edge of fashionable eating habits.
Just a thought.

I am sure you do have it in you to speed up quite a bit. If you have been losing weight, I am sure the improvement you see will be stunning!

Kerry it's been a real honor to watch everything you've accomplished over the past three years. I was truly frightened when I heard about your heart attack, and to see where you've come since then, it's a thrill.

Long may you run indeed, my friend!

No, the inside heels of my running shoes will knick the inside of the opposite ankle. Make sense? I do it when really fatigued. And it friggin hurts!
