Ok, so not like life hasn’t been real. But I have really had to focus on my day to day lately so I could prepare for what I have coming.
First things first…I am going to try to blog either every morning or night. I am going to write my journey down here to a. hold myself accountable and be able to remember this further down the road. 🙂
I have signed up for two races this year so far:
First…is a relay with two of my amazing cousins…Kal-Haven trail relay. We will each run about 11 miles and are going to have a TON of fun. This will be my 4th year running this race and I just love it!
Second…a 20 mile trail run. The GE40 there is a 40 miler that day too but I am not quite ready to train for that so soon! This will be my first time running this race and I am STOKED!
Then comes the big stuff. I just talked to Kyle about him working with me again! I am soooooo grateful he is willing to take me on and help me train for my FIRST ultra! 🙂 October is the goal and details are left out for now until I start actually hitting it hard. I look forward to having Kyle kick my butt and get me conditioned for this. He is such an amazing coach and people person. I am really fortunate to be able to work with him! Kyle keeps me honest and works around my crazy life.
That is all I have to say for today. I am over the roof excited about doing this and know it is about time I push myself to be the best I can be. 🙂
I have been thinking of signing up for the 20 miler myself. I have a friend who has converted mostly to trails and he loves running Chain of Lakes.
