Quite a while ago I registered for my 1st full marathon ... it is on Sunday May 4th. Clearly life has had other plans for me, sickness, children, husband, work, more sickness ... and I have not been training as much as I should have been. I am thinking I will do the half marathon instead this time around and pursue a full marathon later in the year. This is all ok with me, really. Setting a goal as huge as a marathon needs my full attention and I just have not been able to give it that, so I will just adjust my plans ... isn't that how life is anyways?
The weekend after is the Title Nine 9k on Mother's Day. I did this race last year and it was fabulous. It is around the Boulder Reservoir ... I am signed up again this year and really looking forward to it.
I will do my 3rd triathlon this Summer as well ... the Tri for the Cure is in Denver on August 3. I LOVE this race and am already looking forward to it. It is a sprint Tri, which means a 1/2 mile swim in open water (my favorite part!), 12 miles on the bike and a 5K run at the end. It is all women, cancer survivors and just an awesome event. I love it!
Then Caloy and I are registered for the Muddy Buddy on August 17th. www.muddybuddy.com. We have never done this race before and we are so excited. It is 6 miles, running 3 and biking 3, switching off at every mile marker with your partner and completing some kind of obstacle together ... a cargo net, climbing wall or something ... the last obstacle is a huge MUD pit that we must do together ... hence the name, "Muddy Buddy". It'll be awesome!!!
Whew ... lots going on in the coming months ... I am glad to have blogged about this ... it helps to reignite my fire to focus on my workouts and get my body ready for all that is to come. I am a competitive girl ... is that the tomboy-ish-ness in me? I am so blessed to have a husband that is wonderfully supportive in all my endeavors. Thank you Caloy. Mahal Kita.
Lord, thank you for this day, may I glorify You in all that I do. Amen.
