I haven't blogged in a while. Here's what I haven't blogged about:

• I PRed at the Vermont City marathon with a time of 4:23.00. That knocked 5 minutes off my Pittsburgh time and almost 20 minutes off my Fall marathon. It was a good race and a great weekend with friends.

• I bit the bullet and signed up for an ultra. Next weekend I'll be running the Laurel Highlands 50K race to celebrate my 26th birthday (yes, I realize only sick people celebrate their birthdays with a 31 mile trail run). I'm not trained for the trails and the hills, I'm really winging this, but I'm not looking to set any records and I'm pretty sure I have the finish in me.

• It's not yet official, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to sign up for the Pittsburgh triathlon, an Olympic distance race. It'll be my first. Again, haven't specifically trained for it, and while my biking isnt the strongest, I swim a few miles a few times a week and my running is where it needs to be. I'm going to wait to make sure I get through the ultra uninjured before sending in the registration.
