Okay, so it's not even 2010 yet, but the wheels in my head are spinning. What is this race year going to look like for me? What I do know - January 16th I start as Head Coach at the James Center YMCA for the Ukrop's 10K Training Team. Joined my M and J as my assistant coaches, and my sister, niece and nephew as part of the team. I coach thru race day, then have a break from coaching until June, when...Pink Nation rises again...SportsBackers Marathon Training Team and coaching novice marathoners right into November.
Races...hmm, well I know APRIL 17TH, 2010 - 8th Annual "The Ocho" Charlottesville Marathon will be my "spring marathon" - running with M and J and E and J2 will be doing the Half the same day. What else I know is (and this is awesome) The American Odyssey Relay Run Adventure begins in Gettysburg PA and ends in Washington, DC...the week after Charlottesville, 12 girls, 200 miles, 36 hours - Wow! And we have a super group of gals running together! I am really stoked for this...more later on this!
After these, I haven't a clue. I will be starting swim lessons, yes, real swim lessons because I can barely do the breast stroke, in January. Mr. D will be my awesome coach and I WILL learn to swim. I need this because I will continue in the Triathlon series again this year. After the 70.3 IronMan this September, I have to admit the bug to have more fun and be a better competitor is alive and kicking! So I know a few local tri's are a definite, and a Half Iron distance as a race somewhere is a must. All the way knowing that is because I am aiming to be good enough for a full 140.6 IronMan in 2011...a reminder is continually given to me by the Witch Doctor from the DarkSide when I visit him each week.
So past this, I haven't planned but the wheels are spinning. More as I plan.
For now, see you on the roads...
Run safe, run happy!
