Chimeric Dream

I just got back from my first run since the half-marathon, and it was a nice leisurely 2 (ish) miles. A year ago, 2 miles would have felt like a marathon, and yet here I am calling a 2 mile run “leisurely”. What the hell happened?

Yesterday — well, I guess it’s two days ago now — I ran my first ever half-marathon! It was truly an amazing experience, although I wasn’t so excited during the race.

And after only a couple days, the new theme is already live! It is pretty close to the original, but the new version adds quite a bit more color (thanks, Nick!). I am really happy with the way the theme is shaping up. I still have quite a bit of fine-tuning to to (listed below), but the majority of the big stuff is done.

I spent the weekend working on a new design for this site, and I now have a draft version to show off! I’m pretty happy with the way it is turning out so far, but there are some things that I still want to work on and tweak before I implement it.

As you probably already know, I ran in the Hospital Hill 10k race on June 4th. Setting out, I had two three goals for myself: 0) Finish the race; 1) Finish in 1:30:00 or less; and 2) Finish in 1:20:00 or less.
