The end of my Season?

This fall/winter I have really enjoyed my training and racing. More so than ever. After recovering from PF Chang's, I started to think about what I should do next. I contemplated running a halfie in Tucson with Cynthia. I thought about it until I got really excited about it. But a couple of days ago, Noah made me aware of a schedule conflict. I cant go without the whole team- allot of the fun is in the family event. We were going to stay at a fun resort and have a family weekend.

So yesterday and today I have been panicking. Is this the end of this season for me? I started searching the internet for other possibilities, before it gets too hot. Isnt there anything else in March or April here? Is it really all over?

Im looking for a half marathon, or a 10k would do. Something in March or April. Early May would be okay. Something close, or that would work for a family weekend vacation.

Maybe Ill just live vicariously through Cynthia on March 29. A friend with a good race and lots of details is almost as good as your own race.

  3. Lind - three words. Come to Utah. Our season is just beginning :) But it looks like Bridge has got many races for you to look into.

    Funny thing. I've been reading through some of my old runner's world magazines and Kristin usually has an article each month. I don't know if she still does - the mags I have are a few years old. Anyway, I love, love her articles. Thanks for sharing that blog site - I've got it bookmarked now.

  4. I loved that blog entry. I feel a lot like her - always watching for the next adventure, and usually a bit of a let down as soon as the adventure is over.
