Today was a good day for a couple of main reasons. First I had my annual review at work. To be honest I hate performance reviews. I still have memories of the arcane scoring system Southwest Airlines used. Those East German judges always scored me low.
This one was fine. One of the areas I was cited for was my work within the community. Talking to the public about running is one of my favorite things to do at work. I have also been building a core group of people to our weekly fun runs. It was nice to be recognized for my work in this area.
Today was also the day I committed to a marathon for 2013. I will run the Yuengling Shamrock Marathon in Virginia Beach on St. Patrick's Day.

This is a race I have wanted to do for a while. It will be my first Spring marathon, which means training in the winter.....yikes! It is a flat race, which is a good thing. The course runs along the Atlantic Ocean. It's on St. Paddy's Day, and it's sponsored by a beer....1+1=Fun!
In other news....
I am now 11 days from the half marathon. My goal for Friday is the run two hours, and see how I feel. So far the running is going well....so cross your fingers.
