Just an easy run today, but it felt great to be back running. You see, last week I had a colonoscopy, so it had been a week since I had felt like running. After a while, I started to wonder if I would ever feel like it again.

Then, today, I woke up feeling sore and cranky and knew it was time to run. By the time I dragged myself out of the door it was already close to 80 and very humid, but the sun was shining, the birds were chirping and the breeze was blowing. It just felt great to get back to it.

I posted on Facebook some pictures taken after the 5K I ran with my daughter last month. You can see them at https://www.facebook.com/HalfTrainingSchedule – as you will see we enjoyed ourselves. While you’re there, please click on the “Like” button!

You may have noticed that I haven’t posted in a while. Well, sometimes life just gets in the way of having fun, and that’s really what happened. Somehow, my site at halftrainingschedule.com got destroyed, so I finally abandoned my efforts to recover it and switched back to my alternative site at halftraining.com, with a redirect from the other url so that it’s almost transparent to you.

A lesson here: if you have your own website, it’s a good idea to have a second domain that you can use to recover to or from. What happened to me is that I stopped using the host I had been using on the halftrainingschedule domain and rebuilt on halftraining in preparation for the move. After I moved the first domain, I attempted to restore it from the new halftraining site, but had all sorts of problems. In the end, I abandoned the effort as it was just taking up too much of my time.

Too much information? Well, I thought I owed you an explanation of why things have been so quiet for so long! I am working now on adding some more free material to the member’s area, so you might want to check it out from time to time over the next few weeks.

Enjoy your running.
