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!!

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 !!!

Well Well Well...look at the date!!! Holy cow!!
Time to get serious about the running venue in 2011!!! As I have completed, a 5K and a half and then this weekend is an 8K. I am signed up for 2 more halves and a few other smaller races. Are you ready ???? I am getting there.
Yesterday was AMAZING!!! I ran 8 miles and it felt sooo good ! I wanted to keep on trucking but I had to pull back for a work mtg !! Yet, I did it and it was soo fantastic. I was able to hit my fastest mile at mile 5!! While kicking it hard up the hills .... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Today I will do a shorter run for a longer run again on Thursday ... and then race time.
Hopefully you are keeping up on you as I am trying on me ... maybe I will see ya out there running with me ??? I have a few others that are running regularly now and I am so enjoying the new people and also the wonderful company.
* Side note: Went rollerblading the other day -- OMG -- I loved it and soo miss it ! Another thing that I am thinking that the children and I will pick up this summer :O)
Push it dear friends -- PUSH IT !!

Time flies. That's what I am coming to believe and know.
Lived Austin Texas !!!!
1:59:58
Thank you to Jean for helping pull me through. What a course! OOFTA!!! HILLS, humidity, then there was a bit of wind!! Holy Cats!!
First thought -- >> WRONG!!!
I was beating up on myself ... then I was reminded:
Now it is time to work on my next race. As well as work on core exercises and get my body stronger to support the time goals that I will hit!!
Each day there is an hour put in here and there for these goals.
For example:
- 5 days of circuits from Sherry Sonnenberg ( http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1025588547#!/group.php?gid=114436743769 )
- 5 days of running to train for SEATTLE !!!! ( http://seattle.competitor.com/ )
Push on Dearest Readers -- Push on!!

- This time was hit AFTER a long recovery from injury
- This was a 1:40 minutes slower then PR
- This is a NEW time
- This was a difficult course
- This RACE was FINISHED
- etc etc
Now it is time to work on my next race. As well as work on core exercises and get my body stronger to support the time goals that I will hit!!
