If I started training 7 weeks ago the L.A. Marathon would still be a possibility but well, if you look at my past posts - I was busy obsessing about koreatown restaurants and being a graduate student. AH! poo.
I looked up my old running group and their long run this Saturday is 12 miles. Then next Saturday its 20! Then it dawned on me that it's been almost 2 years since my first marathon and 2 months since I've run. My legs would break in half. Every web forum says 11 weeks is too short and dangerous. (This is why I'm up at this hour. Brrr.)
I want to run because I'm student teaching starting January in a junior high school and I think they have a students run L.A. program there. Thought it would be a great way to meet students and be involved with them in an environment outside of the classroom. But who says I can't still get involved right? Hopefully I'll have a chance to run with them during their training and be able to cheer on those that do run the L.A. marathon. And gee, I hope they actually have a program up and running there...will have to double check that.
I miss running. I will hit the road manana. It's nice and cold outside, the air is crisp. And I'm home, with the family, in the quiet of suburbia and with no homework for another week and a half =D

You run too? I just started and fell off my program through the holidays. I *might* be moving back to LA in February. Would you be interested in having a running partner?
