Did you return from Greece?

Hi folks... It's been awhile, to say the least. After two weeks in Greece (updates will commence once we get the semi-professional pictures from the athletic department) and then not having internet most defintely spoiled any blogging on my end. And, as we speak guess where this lucky gal is?

Welcome to Coach Kemp's office! We now have internet but not yet cable. Since the MTV VMA's are being broadcasted plus the fact that my husband is a workaholic made it pretty easy for me to agree to a night spent at this office. He has a pretty nice flat screen tv so I am not complaining!

I have been toying with the idea to run a few half marathons this fall. I had huge desires to run the Madison Half Marathon this past May, I even registered for the event, but was unable to run the event! (If you remember, Coach Kemp got a new gig and this little lady was not driving 8 hours plus solo for a half marathon; guess I am not that committed)  I had run the Madison half twice in the past so I thought it would be a fun one to do since my last race was October 2011.

Well, there are two half marathons slated in Ohio during the same weekend: Findlay Red, White & Blue as well as the Cleveland Rock 'N' Roll. This time around I am prepared for the fact that Coach Kemp may be busy (recruiting season begins Sept 9th!) so am planning a race that is close to home (i.e., Findlay verse Cleveland).

There are six weeks until these races so I might as well pump out some good training the next few weeks. I have been running the last 8 weeks or so. I was really proud as I did get a few runs with this scenery, jealous?!?
