Thinking about getting serious

I took an unexpected break from running this past weekend. I spent a fun few days with friends in D.C. and, while I took my running shoes with me, the large amount of walking we did around our nation's capital combined with the lure of relaxing with food and spirits pretty much quenched all desire to go for a run (especially in the heat and humidity). So yesterday was my first run in 5 days. It felt good. There's something to be said about taking a short break. But now I'm back in the saddle with only 2 weeks left to goof around before starting to train for real. I'm not looking forward to the long runs in either heat and humidity or at very early hours of the morning but I'm afraid that's how it's going to be until late September, most likely. Oh well, it won't kill me.
