Wishful thinking most of the time...but just maybe. Maybe I can do this.
Three half marathons in three months.
- October 9th - Rock 'n' Roll Denver 1/2 Marathon
- November 20th - Women's Half Marathon in St. Petersburg, FL
- December 4th - Rock 'n' Roll Las Vegas 1/2 Marathon
Denver scares me the most, the elevation is playing tricks on my mind. But I am 98.9% sure I am going to do this. I have been training already and am going to do my best to stick to the program. I usually flake out about half way through my training, and then just run the race anyway. Who knows, I could have a new PR! My Seattle time is the one to beat!
I found out about the St Pete's race two Sept's ago when I went to see my friend Jen. She ran the race last year and said it was a blast. The whole event is catered to women and they've since expanded to include Nashville and Phoenix because of the success. There is a goodie bag...with pink crocs! I die!
And finally, Vegas. The race has been changed to night! Night!! How cool! Literally, cool running in the desert, what a great idea! And you get to run the Strip! I have walked this Strip many times, I know I can run it. All the lights, all the people, what a great distraction!
So, what's stopping me?
The miles? Hell no. I can recover from a half. 13 is nothing, just two 10k's back to back.
Time off? Got it covered. I actually have not blown through my vacation like usual.
Registration Fees? Nope, they are a decent price for the size of the event.
PLANE tickets!
Holy hell, it's soooo expensive to fly out of Bizzo! I might be able to swing Vegas on Allegiant. But FL, the weekend before Thanksgiving...forget about it! Crap. I think the mob is making money off the Bizzo-airporto.
