Post-goal collapse

I've been sneaking in a few runs here and there, and the ankle is feeling better, but for the most part I've had a total exercise collapse since I completed the marathon. I've reverted to a beer drinking, calorie absorbing machine. I'm sure I've put on at least 5 pounds since the marathon ended. The good news is that I just read about a study involving identical twins that looked at the aging process and weight. What they found was that a little extra fat helped to hide wrinkles and that the bigger twin always looked younger. So at least I know I'll hit 4o looking a little younger than my 3% body fat brother. Should I really be bragging about this???

So now that I've seen 4:30am runs in the cold rain are very difficult to wake up and do when there is no goal attached to them, I guess I have to find a good goal that comes sooner rather than later. Does anyone know of an enticing half marathon, or similar distance, to do in or around June?

now get back to work...
