Nice to know someone was keeping an eye on my progress!!
I think I have post-marathon depression now. I'm not entirely sure what to do with myself.
I've heard people compare running a marathon to child birth (you spend months reading about it, thinking about nothing else, preparing for it and then the day comes and it hurts so much you just want it to be over and then a couple of days later, you forget all the pain and want to do it all over again) but I never expected the post-event depression to come along with it.
I think I'd better start deciding on another before it gets to me!!
A couple of years ago I decided that sitting around and watching Buffy all the time probably wasn't the best way to live a healthy and fulfilling life so I started to run (this isn't to say I have stopped watching Buffy, it is just no longer my raison d'etre). Then I ran some more. Six-months later I ran a half-marathon along Route 66 and after another six and a whole mess of miles I ran a marathon around the streets of Oklahoma City. Over a year later and an illness curtailed second attempt I'm about start training again...
In between training I do other things like study (a lot) and teach stuff. I'm currently designing a study looking at the cognitive effects of studying philosophy while simultaneously re-modelling the bathroom. So that's fun... Right?

(I've forgotten my Kitty log-in so will have to use this one...bah.)
