A Race Schedule

After 7 months of working and not working at repairing an old rowing injury that came back to haunt me last August, I'm finally running pretty pain free again. OK, let me amend that: I'm run/walking pretty pain free, but the running is getting longer, the walking getting shorter, and I'm getting faster....relatively. ;-)

So, it's time to plan the race schedule and I think I've got it set through October.

6/9 Champ Run - Charlotte 10K

6/29 Huntington Race for Sundaes 10K

7/7 Mad Half  13M

8/10 Irasberg Half 13M

9/21 Common to Common 30K 18M

10/13 GMAA Half 13M

The July half might be pushing it, but the Mad River Valley is just gorgeous and I've got the 8/10 NEK race to go for if it really doesn't look like the miles are getting up there by June. This is also a test of my head for long miles again - it's been really hard to push past the 6 mile marker on my own, but I'm going to have to. Or at least run with her in my head and my heart. Maybe even fly for a few moments with the sound of her laugh next to me and her smile shining through my tears.

Miss you so much.
