Back On The Road…

As the Earth, Wind & Fire song goes, “Time to get back on the road; gonna leave these troubles behind.”  It has been one of those songs that gets trapped in my mind and plays over and over, while I'm running.  “Don't you cry, when I say goodbye…”

It has been too long since I hit the road last…well, too long for me, anyway.  And not just being on the road but too long since my last race!  Both are about to change, soon.

Surprisingly, I only have one race to my credit, this year – a 600 meter “experience” at UNI.  I haven't checked but am fairly certain that the Drake Relays officials will not accept that time as Masters 800 qualifying.  So, wanting to make sure that I do get something tangible to send in, I will finally be getting a halfmile race in.  Assuming all goes as planned (ahem), it will be at Eastern Illinois University on the 2

^nd

of April.  Time will not be a concern, at all. 

I guess that I wouldn't consider Charleston, Illinois a great road destination, but will be glad to be back on track and get an 800 in.  It will not be my only getaway - no worries when it comes to that.  I will also be hitting Savannah, Georgia and possibly Knoxville, Tennessee, as well.  Oh yeah, and Des Moines for a really big track meet…

Until I bring you my next road/running experience, I pray life is grand for all!  Happy trails, training, and living.   Peace ~
