Whooooo hoooo hooo -- it's race season!!

Races here and there and everywhere !!

This weekend I will observe the Fetzer Race - so that I can get a feel on what is going to occur the following Saturday for the SEMYO Race. Wheeee .. There is definitely some overwhelment that is hitting me = yet= just do it !! Either it works or it doesn't - either I enjoy it or I do not. It's really that simple!!

Last night was track work. It was OK. I was a bit tired. I do believe that Fool's Five took it outta me, last weekend. That's OK. No reason to get off the wagon when you just need to go at it slow!! I did 8 reps of my 400M repeats .. .hitting em at a good pace w the fatigue showing.

Tonight is the 8 miler that I will help a good friend, Angie, get through. She is training for Med City.

Did I mention that I am crazy ??? Yep -- definitely soo!! I signed up for RAGNAR. Not only signed up for it -- I am runner 5. WTH was I thinking ???? Not to sure, but it's done now..so all I have to do is complete it and follow through with the training. EZ PZ right ??? HA !!!

This year is going to be the best year of my life, I do forsee!! 35 yrs old - 16 yrs clean and sober - running like a mad woman ... ROCK ON !!

Push on Dear Friends, Push ON!!

April 4th, 2011

What a fabulous start to a FANTASTIC month!!!!

Yesterday, ran Fool's Five in Lewiston.

8K = 39.21 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Super excited and proud of my time. I am extremely happy with these results, for it is still very early in my training and I am on a good start for a great year. I need to remember, listen to my body, and do my stretches!!

It was kinda funny, about the race yesterday. I came in thinking I had around 43 min as that is what my garmin was showing, even though my garmin has been a bit off lately, in the past few months. I was cool with that time, considering it is so early in the training program for Seattle and it was a strong finish, as I was not winded in the end!! Then last night I read the results and was FULL of excitement!! ( 9 pm mind you!! ) I also realized that I was 4th in my age group!!! WHEEEEEE .. very happy !!!

Another opportunity also arose in front of me this past weekend -- RAGNAR!!! OMGosh .. here we go -- and I thought about it, prayed and realized, it was a good weekend, in between races!! Then, when I was asked, I was told, eh -- the leg your signing up for would be not so bad - RIGHT!!!! The hardest freakin one!!!! ( leg 5 -- 21.8 Mi!! ) Well, I am in and now I will need to train hard !!!

Here come 35 !!!

Push on dear friends, push on!!
