And so it shall be

January 16th, 2008

My friend Aimee asked if I had started training yet for the season.  I told her I hadn’t, but that I can feel it coming.  It’s like a train you can hear in the distance, you know it’s coming, you can hear it, you start to feel it and by the time it hits you, it is running on all cylinders and practically knocks you down.

This year’s race schedule is going to be a little different. There seems to be a lot more running. I’m going to blame this on my running group.  Too much time together running makes you think crazy thoughts, like marathons you vowed never to do again. My hope is that with these people, it will be easier, better and maybe even fun.

With all that extra running it could go one of two ways: (1) I am going to have the best season of my life or (2) I will go down in a raging ball of flames.

So here’s what this season looks like:

January:  Securian Frozen Half Marathon

May: Lake Minnetonka Half Marathon

June: Buffalo Triathlon (sprint) & Grandma’s Marathon

July: Life Time Fitness Triathlon (olympic) & Chisago Lakes Half Ironman 

And then I will rest.

    Girl, you crazy. Better be sure to drink your Gatorade.

    I’ve registered for the Buffalo sprint as my first tri. I’m so glad to see that you too are doing it so that when I finish 45 minutes after you I’ll have a goal for my next one.

    They allow life-preservers and motorized scooters in that tri, right?
