A Time Consuming Hobby

Why did I pick such a time consuming hobby? No wonder I'm stressed. Other people knit or blog or I dunno scrapbook. Stuff you can break up into chunks or do other stuff while you hobby (can hobby be a verb?). Not so with running...

I've been trying to decide whether I'll stick with the full marathon or switch to the half on March 20th....still can't decide. Off for a 10 or so mile run, hopefully a lot more.

ON THE POSITIVE SIDE (after running 12.5 miles):
I am happy to report that the ducks and geese have returned to DC which means that spring is surely coming!

Snow Blues - SOS!!!!

Today is my second day off from work...2 feet of snow and DC cannot handle it. I've been slacking with postings, partly because I've become dedicated to DailyMile, where I can track my mileage and compare it with other people. But seriously, I just haven't been able to run like I want to. I have to go to the gym and do my runs in 30 minute shifts and it's been driving me insane. I wanted to do 15 miles this weekend and could only manage 10. I honestly don't know if I'll be ready for the marathon in March. :(

I'm amazed that people can run in the snow. I can barely handle walking in the snow, so I think if I were to try to run, I'd end up falling and breaking my ankle. My chances of finishing a marathon in a month and a week are increased by not having broken bones. I just want to move to Florida!!! I'm going stir crazy, pretty much the only thing I want to do all day is stay at the gym but it's so crowded that I can't even handle that!

HELP!!! I'm sending out an SOS!
