Race season is upon us. So of course the running bug has been losing it's mind screaming in my head. Then TBO (Tall Blond One for those that don't remember) starts trying to get me to train for the half marathon. I haven't run in almost 2 years and she wants my return to be 13.2 miles! IS SHE CRAZY? The answer to that is no, but at the time I did have to wonder.
This dilemma seriously put me in problem solving mode. I know it was an imagined problem but a problem none the less. And I do love a good problem. It's what I do. Who am I kidding, it's WHO I AM!
Anyway, I came up with the perfect solution. Train to run Austin's Cap 10K. It's March 27, 2011. That's 20 weeks from now. The half training is only 13 weeks. I should be able to run 6 miles in 5 months. Piece of cake right.
TBO was on board, now all I had to do was convince John the Trainer. He wasn't as happy about the idea. Although he accepted it better than I thought.
Now that I have his blessing (I'm stretching that bit but he didn't say no) all I have to do is create the plan. That was part of the deal. I had to create the plan and he gets to make modifications. He also has veto power. I agreed that if he told me to slow down or stop I would. No questions asked.
So now that I have a new training project I guess you will be hearing from me more often. It was hard to write when I wasn't do to much. I felt like all I was doing was whining. And I didn't think any wanted to hear me whine. If you can't tell I'm excited about getting into this. We'll see how it goes. I'll let you know all about the adventure as it unfolds.
