And beyond burning man
I'm deflating my yoga ball/chair to take to burning man with me. I figure at the very least I'll have something to sit on, and at the most, maybe I'll stretch or do crunches or something. I'm not too concerned about getting in any workouts while I'm there. I'll have my mountain bike and I'm taking my running shoes, but I doubt that I'll actually be able to fit in formal workouts.
When I get back, I'll start half-marathon training again. Last year worked really well with the schedule that I'd found, so I think I'm going to do something similar this year. The difference, though, is that I'm still going to be swimming and spinning and hopefully biking.
Next May, I turn 35, and my goal is to do the Alcatraz Challenge, the Nike Women's Half-Marathon, some Olympic distance triathlon (.93 mile swim, 25 mile bike, 6 mile run), and a Century ride somewhere in the year that I'm 35.
I'll also probably do the MS150 next April, a sprint triathlon or two to train for the Olympic, and I'm debating on whether or not to do the Houston AND the Austin half-marathons or just one.
This summer, since the triathlon, I've been sort of slacking on exercise. I go to my spin and swim classes, but running hasn't really been part of my regular regime since March. I've gained a few pounds, though not anywhere near the number I've lost since I started doing these crazy things. So I'm looking forward to training again. I always feel better when I'm exercising, though it takes me a little time to get up to that motivation to keep on going. Having all these events planned out helps me stay motivated and dedicated. I can't run 13.1 miles in January unless I've run 12 miles in December, and 10 miles in November and 5 miles in October. I can't swim back from Alcatraz island unless I've been swimming a lot before hand.
