I’m getting back in the swing of things. Some days I’m still
hard on myself about running but I am who I am and I’m going further than
anyone on the couch! SO THERE! I have to say that I’m not really looking
forward to the Shamrock Shuffle, my own reasons, one that are probably a coward’s
way out, but I will blame Iceland on my slow if I show up performance. Not
feeling it!
Oh whoops I forgot!
Once Heather pops out my new nephew (ok I’ll let her recover
too!) we’ll train for the B.A.A 5k which is April 19 in Boston. It’s 2 days
before the marathon and the course will take us across the Boston Marathon
finish line as well. I’ve run in Boston a lot, but I think this run will be
different. I think there is a lot of emotion
and love for a city behind this run. They opened the field to 10,000 so it’s
kind of a big deal.
The Color Vibe is coming to Manchester on April 27th!
The Mind Ninjas are at it again and I am sure no one will leave with any white
left on their clothes. I’d appreciate no rain because that just really made for
a miserable clean up! So sunny vibes!
I am most excited about the Hollis Fast 5k because my 6 year
old super niece Adalee is going to be running with me. I keep telling her I
hope I can keep up with her. It’s a downhill race and I thought it would be
something special we could do together! So I’ll just chase her the entire time
and probably have my best time ever!
He gets me
July is the Run to Home Base, which I am lucky enough to be
sponsored by my company but I am still choosing to fundraise because it is an
amazing cause! I missed out last year and while I’m not overly happy it’s in
the middle of July I’ll take it! It’s still a cool feeling to run across home
plate at Fenway Park! Or maybe I'll do this!
Heather and I are trying to decide on a mud run, but so far
it seems as if there is nothing at the time we want or that we can both do or
that didn’t try to kill me (Spartan Run I’m talking to you!) We’ll see what we
end up doing. Every race has its ups and downs so it’s a matter of finding
something that fits “us”. The last thing we want to do is hate it!
I’m not going to lie when I say a nice shiny medal or good
bling really help motivate me! And beer and cupcakes....mmmm cupcakes!
