A Good Weekend!

So this past weekend has been declared a good weekend.

On Saturday morning we met up with the awesome group we have and went for a long run.

I only got 4.61 miles but it took every bit of effort to make it. I'm now on a training program to hit a half marathon in November and we should see some progress as we move forward.

Then we had a D&D game which meant a late night. But the bonus of this, out of many I could mention, is I can draw things as I go along. So here are the ones drawn from that night...some part of the game, and some not so much...

The RFYL 4 Miler!

So this past weekend was the 4 Miler handled by the Run For Your Life store. I did not get the time I wanted which was 44 min but instead came in around 44:26. This is an expected 11 minute pace to a 11:26 pace. An improvement from the last couple of races and not quite what I wanted, but I will take it since it was a 4 miler.

Been busy here lately with lots of good things happening! Going out to a nice place for dinner tonight with some friends, training for a half marathon will soon begin, and drawing away! The first is something I have been drawing for the last two lunches while the other is the concept work for that commission. The waitress must be from the little fact that Trueblood started up again. Haven't seen it? Get going as it rocks! I really like the bottom lion...Enjoy!

It's a good day...

So last night I had a awesome run. No question about it...I did 2 miles in 19:02 for a 9:30 pace. To me that is an indication that I am slowly getting back to where I used to be. I really enjoyed my runs under the 10 minute pace as I found myself pushing the best I could and have little left over in the tank.

I added a link to a good friend of mine in the "friends" links below...Kelly is one of my best pals and it should be noted for a couple of years I was barely ahead of her in the runs and now she's gotten ahead of me. Don't worry Kelly...if last nights run is an indication of me returning I will be giving you a run for your money soon enough.

Though I must admit my true goal is the half marathon in November just a handful of days after my 40th birthday. I consider it just another way of me saying I am not dead yet.

I've been working on a sweet commission for a t-shirt. Can't put anything on just yet but once I am able to I will my friends...trust me.

We have a good 4 mile race planned this weekend. The Run For Your Life 4 Miler Run for Your Cause race. It's in the Dilworth area of Charlotte. If ever you get a chance to ride through that area it's beautiful. Almost like watching some of the classic movies with Sophia Loren...just breath taking.

Chat with you soon!

And so on and so on...

So this past weekend was quite the time...I was scheduled to visit the hospital to be knocked out and checked over for cancer...of which I am happy to say they found none! The evening prior to this event I was very please by doing 2.5 miles at a 10 minute pace. I find myself very happy at that pace and looking forward to building upon it.

The weekend itself was a good one just recovering from the visit with the hospital, which I won't bore you with the details. But last night I wanted to run but do it outside since we have a 4 miler this weekend. I was able to do 3.11 miles at about a 11:30 pace which was perfect. Perfect because with the heat a 10 minute pace was out of the question at the moment and also I knew if I slowed down I could go further which is exactly what happened.

I'm working on a possible commission which I am looking forward to should it come around. Really neat concept and new stuff for me to draw. More on that in the future! Be good and thanks for stopping by!
