Why yes, I'd love to do another race!

Several of my crazy running friends heard about a challenge to do 12 half marathons in 2012.  I'm not quite that ambitious, but I figured 12 races shouldn't be too hard. 

So far I have done seven races, with another one on the schedule for next week.  Plus, I'm sure that I will add in several more small races before the end of the year.

I also signed up to play softball one night a week and take a boxing conditioning class three times a week this summer.  At this rate, I should be in pretty good shape by this fall.  Which will be fabulous for when I start training for the 2013 Goofy Challenge!

Give it a try

1. Run 700 miles.
2. Buy a road bike.
3. Do an olympic distance triathlon.
4. Swear less.
5. Improve my poker face.
6. Be more productive on weekends.
7. PR in the half marathon.
8. Cross-train at least once a week.
9. Finish school.
10. Eat more fruits and veggies.
11. Use my gym membership.
12. Run an entire half marathon.

Note to self

8.44 miles

I ran 8.44 miles yesterday. Yeah me! My IT bands wanted to have a chat with me over it, but for the most part I stuck my fingers in my ears and screamed "I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" They were not amused, but I beat them in to submission with my foam roller yesterday afternoon. After that we got along much better. :)

Double Digits x 2

So I'm in a new training cycle. In the last two weeks I have managed to overcome my lazy gene and get out for ALL of my scheduled runs. I'm 8 for 8! And I'm hitting double digits for weekly runs. The first week I did 13 miles (and spent some quality time with the foam roller, stick, and footnubz). Last week if did 14 miles! Woo Hoo! So far, so good, let's keep it up.

I'm too lazy to post anything else.
