I Figured it Out!

While I was running on the treadmill at the YMCA for almost two hours today I realized why I haven't been posting updates in my blog... It's because I've run 70 miles on the treadmill since I last posted, and every one of those miles has been BORING AS HELL! Still, I won't start running outside until the temps are consistently above freezing (I'm a wimp), and the way this winter is going, that will be in June.

I believe it's 17 weeks until the marathon, and things are going well. The last mile was tough today, though, and had me wondering if I'll ever really be able to run 26.2 miles without dying. I guess we'll see because I'm in too deep to back out now, plus I've paid for the race already, and that's non-refundable.

I do have another excuse for not posting. I bought myself a couple of new lenses for my camera and I've been trying to force myself to shoot more photos. I started up trying to shoot and upload a photo to Flickr every day, but I'm about a week behind on that too.

Here's the most recent photo I posted as an example:



Feel free to check out all of my photos and comment on them if you like them. I'm trying to teach myself to be a better photographer and a better Photoshop user, so any feedback helps.
