Falling behind
It’s been that kind of spring. Two good races but mostly falling behind in workouts and in races. Today with Brent was another one of those days; I fear I was not much help to him in his marathon preparation this time… And yet I have not doubted my motivation to continue doing what I can in this sport, and I continue to look ahead to the fall.
In any case, I am off on another bout of travels starting Friday. My itinerary this time is insane. I go to Washington for meetings Friday and then a weekend with friends there. Then it’s off to Singapore with Shuwen to visit the inlaws. June 18 I fly to Cairo, with its searing summer heat. The following week I am off to Sweden to present a paper, and then back to Cairo for a little while, before concluding with a stop to work with my colleagues in Addis Ababa. I will finally return sometime around July 18-20.
I wonder how my running will hold up along the way. Maybe it will be good to step back a bit and prepare to run the fall, refreshed and just happy to be in Carrboro. See you all then, and bet of luck with your summer runs!
