I ran my first race yesterday – my next race is currently scheduled for Thanksgiving day in Missouri with my brother-in-law.  I’m considering a 5k in Phoenix on Nov 6th.  I can’t get over the fact that at my current pace, people are finishing the race before I reach the half way point.  I’m watching “The Spirit of the Marathon” – which is very inspirational but I just watched the female winner finish at about 2 hours and 20 mins!  At my current pace, I wouldn’t be at the 10 mile mark yet.

On a different note, I do like that I can feel the muscles in my legs again – like I did on the D-Tour 2007 (I rode my bicycle from Glendale, AZ to Del Rio, TX in 11 days).  My semipro-football training season starts this Tuesday.  I’m not ready for the time commitment but I do look forward to playing again…

I still struggle with auto-pilot living.
