Just curious.

FOX CITIES MARATHON


And you?

Oh, and you may 'recognize' a name here...(look at first place female category)

I'm not training for anything, yet. Aug. 10 I'll begin training for White Rock, the whole 26.2

Now I'm just trying to survive the summer and maintain a good base.

Right now I'm getting back to my original training mileage after recovering from a stress fracture I sustained in March. I got back into running in mid-May and so far things are progressing quite well. Overall mileage is still pretty low but I expect to reach my goal in about a month and half's time. Ill probably do a couple of 10ks in the fall:
Oct. 27 James Cunningham Seawall Race (9.5k)
Nov. 23 Fall Classic 10k
However the main thing I'm training for is my 1st half marathon ( Interestingly it's called the "First Half" half marathon) early next year (Feb) so I have to up the mileage quite abit especially in the wintertime (hopefully to 50mpw w/o any injuries!)

I keep waffling on the issue....so I almost hate to commit to it by saying it 'outloud' but I think I'm training for my first full mary in Chicago Shocked but don't hold me to it!

holy crap did I just say that???

Edited to add the rest of my schedule:

Recover and hopefully do Dallas marathon relay 12/14
Houston full or half mary 1/18/04
Austin half 2/15.

3 races planned so far:

Maybe a 5K this weekend if I can find the race, LOL!

4 mile road/trail race on the 4th in Ft. Wayne, IN...starts in the children's zoo so my daughter will have a fantastic time. this is supposed to be a difficult course, but is rated as one of the best races in Indiana. It should be fun and really test me, giving me a good workout.

5 mile Kewaskum race on 7/12. This will be a hard course too. It will be so nice to race a flat course after I have finished these races. Smile

Shelly, the flatland runner.
