Why Can't I Do It All?
I am happy to say that I have been pain free for 3 full days. Yesterday Gary and I went on a bike ride for almost 2 hours, and today I went to Vetran's Park with Kelty and ran 5 miles completely pain free. Even the 5 minute warm up did not bother it. Maybe the kinesio taping really works! I had to take it off today because it was starting to roll and peel away from my leg, and it was pretty dirty from the trail.
With the reality of me doing the Sugar and Spice slipping away I have been pondering what I want to take on within the next year or two or three...
Triathlon?
Being on the road bike yesterday was really fun, and even though we were not going very fast I was starting to feel very comfortable on the bike which is great for me. In the past road biking has terrified me, and I could never seem to relax. Watching the Memphis in May Triathlon a couple of weeks ago made me really excited to try a triathlon. I've always had the swim part down, and now I have a lot more running experience, but my limiting factor was always the bike. First of all I never had one, but now that I don't have that as an excuse since we bought a K2 a couple of months ago. The perfect triathlon for me to start out with would be the Tri for Sight put on race director, and good friend, Beth Atnip. It's a shorter triathlon, and right here in Lexington, a great first triathlon, but it is September 24th which is only 1 month away from the Columbus Marathon...
Marathon?
I really enjoy running marathons and all of the people I train with. My friend Lynn wants to run Columbus together, and I know it would be a blast because I absolutely love running with Lynn. Also, Columbus is supposedly a flat and fast course, and I would really like to qualify for Boston someday. Could this be the year? Probably not if I do Tri for Sight.
Ultramarathon?
Since the S&S looks like a no-go I would really like to try to do another one. I have found 4 in KY. Louisville Love'n The Hills 50k February 18th, Land Between the Lakes 60k March 11th, KY Ultra Trail Sojourn 80k (31 and 51 mile option) March 25th, and KY Arches Run 32-34 miles November 11th. They all look like great races, and I would get to be in the woods!
Adventure Racing?
This is something I have wanted to do for a long time, and hadn't thought about it much lately until Gary mentioned it the other day. I haven't looked up any in our area yet, but I'm not counting this one out yet. My neglected mountain bike needs some riding, and I am always happiest when I am spending time in the woods.
Start Having Babies?
HAHA! Just kidding. Breathe Gary. Not just yet!
Decisions decisions... I have a lot to think about don't I?
