I’ve been in better shape and been in better training shape than I am right now.

I’ve had some serious mental and physical issues that kept me from getting up to a good speed, but that’s all fixed now, and I’m finally ready to get back into some good miles and run well. I’m doing it now though. If anything though, the year has been a total wash of great training miles, great running miles, and some good training and runs that I just didn’t have time for between then and now.

I’m still in good shape, though not quite back to the peak fitness I was at before. I’ve just gained back much of the speed I lost over the summer with my early morning runs, and gained in strength with the added weights since then. I’m feeling healthy for another run, and I have a few race-day workouts that are going to be better than ever before, but I don’t think you’re going to see me racing any time soon. This post has more to do with my running than the other training posts for me. The good news just keeps on keeping on. I’m training better than I have in a while, and I’m actually training with a purpose for the first time in a long time.

I’m planning to pick up rope jumping with my training jump rope in a couple of weeks, and I’m planning to train very hard to do that. It has nothing to do with my running, but it’s a good way to train for the running that’s coming up in the fall, so I’m training hard, in a good way, to get ready for that.
