Quick Updates

We had a great time in Oceanside and I look forward to writing my race report and sharing my experience. In the meantime, here's a few announcements:

1. Boston is now less than 3 weeks away! Last long runs are done. One more track workout tomorrow (I hope). And then lots of rest and recovery.

2. Big Sur Marathon is less than 4 weeks away! I watched the marathon tour video today and totally got goose bumps and all choked up. It is going to be absolutely amazing. I so look forward to the beautiful sights and enjoying two years worth of hard work to get to this place.

3. I am officially signed up for Ironman Canada. Well they took my money anyway. I have to complete the online form next week, but I have paper in hand and receipt. August 29, 2010 I will be racing Ironman in Penticton, BC. I was waiting to announce this because I'm not actually starting to train until the beginning of June and I wanted to avoid the "pressure". I will have a 12 week build up to the race and even though it may not be my best, it will be well worth it. I didn't sign up last summer because I was so burnt out. But after Arizona, I took some time to recovery and relax, and within 2 months I was ready to go again. So Skirt Chaser and I talked about it and decided that I would try to take one of the slots to Canada at Oceanside. I waited for 2 hours and was at the front of the line when registration opened up. I'm IN!

4. Before IM, I'll be doing Deuces Wild Olympic distance in June, Mountain Man Half IM in August and a few 5k races in between.

5. I've just started reading Between a Rock and a Hard Place by Aron Ralston. Amazing. I'll keep you posted.
