Last night, I read Marathon Anner's post, and haven't gotten it out of my head. A Super Sprint Duathlon -- 2.5k run, 10k ride, 2.5k run August 31st!! What an amazing way to celebrate my champagne birthday! All day I've been humming and hawing about it...
It's official, I'm registered! AM I CRAZY! This is less than 3 weeks away, 19 days to be exact! But I'm so excited!
The other crazy part is that I had also registered for Nike's 10k Human Race, also because it was on my birthday. I think the local running store where the group and I meet is hosting this event in the evening... 6:00 ish, so I should be able to manage both. What better way to spend my birthday than virtually running with a million other runners around the world -- considering how much running has changed and impacted my life! Anyone else doing this run?
Went for a short 4k run today, felt good... stretched, and iced a lot again. I may go out for a run tomorrow with the group, will see how I feel. I don't want to overdo it before Saturday... i figure if i run tomorrow, thursday off/biking, and friday i'll go for a short run, or take a second day off running if needed before the Midsummer Night's 15k run.
So that's the plan. I can't believe i've just registered for a duathlon! When I bought my road bike, I was thinking about possibly trying one next year! I thought about volunteering at one this year, just to get a feel for the atmosphere, and what to do!!! But there's really not a lot of time to do that first now! LOL This is even more crazy to me considering the shin splints, and bike crash, but neither will stop me :) Thanks for the motivation Anners!! Hope to see you there now too!

I just turned 30, so it's kind of a late birthday thing for me...haha. My champagne birthday was when I turned 7!!
Wow, that's great. Have fun and good luck!
Very exciting, Mel!!!
I'm rooting for you and keeping my fingers crossed that this will stil happen.
