Fo-Shizzle!

I soooo need a race to focus on...that's fo-shizzle (DramaGirl's word. She cringes whenever I use it because I suspect the usage is all incorrect and I'm old, and I'm her mom, and moms are just not supposed to use hip and cool 7th grade lingo...). In any event, I need races as goals, and now that the La Jolla 1/2 Marathon has been accomplished, I'm looking for other races to focus on and work toward.

So far, here are some upcoming local races that I'm planning on doing this summer 
  • Union-Tribune Race for Literacy (8K) - Tomorrow - already signed up and running...also the reason why I'm not running 16 miles with the SDTC this morning...well that and since I'm NOT running the RnR marathon this year, I really see no need to run 16 miles today.*
  • Aflac IronGirl 10k - June 7 - signing up today...yes, the herd is willing to run on the poly-crap one more time. At least the race doesn't start AND end on it this year...only ends on it.
  • America's Finest City 1/2 Marathon - August 16 - last leg of the triple crown!
I feel like I need a race in July...but July usually gets sucked up by vacations, and I'll probably also do the SDTC 1/2 Marathon Training Program, so I'll have plenty to keep me busy and moving.

Oh...and I'm going to start riding my bike more. That should hold me.

In other running-related, but not very interesting news. I've been looking at my April totals.

  • Treadmill runs - 25.82
  • Real runs - 51.07
  • Total - 82.89
  • Elyptical - 6.5
  • Bike (real and stationary) - 23.29

So....speaking of the bike. I'm going to go load mine now so that Betty and I can go for a ride down at Mission Bay. I'll post adventures and pix later.

Good luck to everyone who is racing this weekend. Can't wait to read all your reports!

Update: Bike ride = 1:10 minutes - 12.9 miles!

*It felt really, really, really, strange to not be getting up at the ass-crack of dawn this morning to run. I thought I'd sleep in , but by 6am (not the ass-crack of dawn, granted, but still pretty damn early for a Saturday morning) I was wide awake...GAH!
