Sometimes we need a little crazy in our life...my life is probably a few weeks (or days) away from "crazy status." I am volunteering at a retreat in July, so I have 4 weeks of training...during which my daughter will be graduating high school...and then shortly after she will start college and I will begin seminary. So, you know what that means...I should probably add more things to make it that much more interesting! The question is what do I want to add to my schedule? The choices are pretty straight forward:
--Cypress 5k/10k - 7/28/12...I have been doing sprints, so a good 5k might be a good test to see how much my speed has improved. One small problem...it's close to my wife's birthday...sooooo will she be willing to let me run it?
--San Francisco Marathon - 7/29/12...this race is rife with problems...it's far, both from home and race distance. Can I get back up to marathon distance in such a short time? And of course my wife has to be willing to go to San Fran for her birthday.
--Disneyland Half Marathon - 9/2/12...I would love to do this race, but it's sold out, so unless I find someone that will sell me their race number, I will not be running this race.
--Rosarito-Ensenada 50 Mile Bike Ride - 9/29/12...I have been riding my bike a lot more...but enough to make it up the huge hill on this course?
--Long Beach Marathon - 10/7/12...I will probably be registered for something in this event...bike ride is fun...the half marathon and I have some unfinished business, or am I crazy enough to run the marathon distance?
--Rock n Roll Half Marathon Los Angeles - 10/28/12...they have really cool medals...and since it is right before Halloween, I can wear a costume...I wonder how heavy a Wile E. Coyote costume would be...
--Rock n Roll Vegas Marathon - 12/2/12...a mini vacation to Vegas...and a half marathon...what's not to like??
--Los Angeles 13.1 - 1/13/13...this was my first half marathon and would be a good race to set a personal record...plus it is the official warm-up race to the LA marathon...which means...
--Los Angeles Marathon - 3/17/12...they say that you get addicted to running marathons...as soon as you forget the pain you were in...
So there they are...a few of the options to keep me busy for a while...any thoughts/advise would be appreciated...
