Real David H.

No, I didn’t fall off a cliff and fake my own death. I’m alive and mostly well.
With everything that goes on with moving, spending as much time with my family as much as I can since I won’t see them much for a couple of weeks, and being exhausted, things like blogging and chatting on Twitter or dailymile must go away.

That said, I’m still running. I have to do something to keep me from going crazy. These past couple of weeks may not be what I want, but from where I am in previous years before marathon training I certainly can’t complain.

This move back to Richmond works well with my training. While I would love to have a few more base miles, I’ll still at 510 miles for 2012 so far. That’s not too shabby. I think I’ve only hit 500 miles in the first 6 months in a calendar year once.

By the time I’m fully settled, “official” training will get under way in July for the Richmond Marathon. My new place is actually very close to my old house, so I’m familiar with the neighborhoods I’ll run in, but I’ll also have some new areas to explore.

And if I have the time, I’ll try to run parts of the course before hand, especially Lee Bridge.

For now, this may be my last post for another week. For everyone whose blogs I usually read and haven’t commented on, I apologize. I feel like I’m missing out on things a bit.

As I mentioned a couple of posts ago, I want to get back to a lot of what I was doing to make things “normal.” That “normal” will have to wait a little bit longer though.
