Ok.. You know what I'm saying right? I've got all this work to do tonight for my MBA class and I'm writing a blog about nothing. That's right... this is about nothing. I'm ready to be graduated already (this is my last class). I'm sure you all will hear me complain for the rest of the semester. But, I can't wait until this is done.
In athletic news... Meliss and I went to the gym tonight. Unfortunately, we were only there for 10 minutes because Meliss started to feel queasy (pregnant queasy). Anyhow, we went home. No big deal to me. I was hungry and had a lot of work to procrastinate. But, I did get 10 minutes on the elliptical in today for the record. Not that it did me much good or anything.

Harrisburg Marathon... I'm in?
I've been debating whether I wanted to run Harrisburg in November (because it's close and small) or Steamtown in October because it's medium sized (not too big), down-hill and fast. After looking at the schedule, I would have to be training all the way through the summer for Steamtown. Where as, if I train for Harrisburg, I wouldn't have to be on my training plan in June. Also, after running MCM, I would really like to have a small "event". For Harrisburg, you can park 100 yards from the start line and you don't have to get a hotel. That's nice. Not only that, my wife is pregnant again (like how I snuck that in?), and she is due the week before Steamtown. So, that's probably not going to work.
So, Harrisburg it is.... provided I stay/get healthy and continue to progress. Nate is probably going to run it too, so we'll be training some of our long runs together. That'll be nice. The only thing I am dreading is Marcus's race report last year. He is an excellent runner and he keeps telling me how much he hated the "park" portion of the race starting at mile 18 (I think it was 18, deep into the race anyway). He said that it is rolling hills for a couple miles. On a normal run, no big deal. That far into the race, big deal.
I guess Steamtown is meant for another year. It's a fast course, so it may be one to reserve for when I'm really serious and trying to BQ (if that ever happens). But, for now, it's Harrisburg.
Probably not my first pick, but absolutely the least complicated pick. And, that works for me right now.
