Long Delay Explanation

So I've been putting off blogging for the last few weeks, with the exception of the map of my first bike ride. In that post, I promised an explanation. So here's my explanation, in short, I didn't feel like sharing much of what was going on in my life in the last few weeks... at least, not while it was going on. In a nutshell, on May 4th I separated (euphemism for "got dumped") from Holly, my girlfriend of three and half years who I moved to Minnesota with. Consequently, I have moved in with some great new roomates, Kyle and Brian. That's the big news.

In smaller, but better news, I set a new 5K PR of 23:38 at Dam To Dam in Des Moines on May 31st, finishing 15th in my age group. I have also begun training (finally) for the Twin Cities Marathon on October 5th. The first real month of training was replaced with a bender, horrible eating habits, and serious drop in workout time brought on by the break up and move. I'm coming around though. This weekend will be busy, as I have it free. I hope to get a run of 9 - 12 miles in, while also getting most of what's left in my condo moved out. We'll see how it all goes.

So anyway, I'm back. If anyone ever reads this blog anymore... sorry for the delay!
