Looking Forward...

I like my collection of running shoes!

Now that we have finished most of the events for this year - just one left to do (Winter Wonderland Lights Run/Walk) It's time to start looking at my potential events list for 2012!

January - Resolution Run (Battle Ground)

March - Shamrock Run Portland, Fort Vancouver Run

April - Monster Cookie Metric Century (?)

June - Blue Lake Sprint Tri, Vancouver USA Half Marathon & Tour de Blast (?)

July - 4th of July Run (Ridgefield), Cycle Oregon Weekend Ride, All Women's Event

August - Covered Bridge Bicycle Tour (?)

September - StumpTown Sprint Tri, Peach of a Century (?)

October - Harvest Ride, Run Like Hell

November - ???

I don't think I have enough on my list...I better look for more stuff to do!!!

Took a week off after we did Run Like Hell the Sunday before this past Sunday and it was a super lazy week! Did go to the gym, didn't think about running, riding or swimming...aaahhh. Yesterday we were back at it and at the gym bright and early 2 mile run and then some strength training. Tomorrow is another 2 miles and I probably should do more strength training. I'm trying to be smart about my training now. Before it was just a willy-nilly thing. I think it will still be willy-nilly, but at least there will be some structure here and there ;) I can dream right?

If anyone is interested - Winter Wonderland Lights Run/Walk is on November 26 at PIR. Come join the fun! The Party In The Pit starts at 3pm there will be a sock hop, Mrs. Claus Hula Hoop contest, a Lil Elf parade and then the run/walk at 5pm!


This year has been a good year with all the events and pushing myself a little more than usual to run a 10k and do a couple of triathlons. Now I'm looking forward to more of the same for next year and new challenges!
