So for some reason, signing up for races is nerve wracking.\u00a0 I love setting my sights on a race.\u00a0 I love training for the race.\u00a0 I love the taper and the prep.\u00a0 I don’t love the getting up early but it’s part of the territory.\u00a0 I love the anticipation waiting for the start to cross the start line.\u00a0 I love the test of my mettle during the race.\u00a0 I dearly love crossing the finish line and I love celebrating after.<\/p>\n

However, the actual signing up, paying, and committing to the race?\u00a0 Not a fan.\u00a0 Frightening.\u00a0 That is the point where I have to say 1, 2, 3 and actually jump off the platform.\u00a0 Everything after?\u00a0 Just momentum, folks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’ve committed to everything I planned to do now for 2010.\u00a0 Except one optional race (and it’s a 5 miler… no biggie)<\/p>\n

9\/19 – Casa 5k (mostly a fun run with work people – I’m not expecting a PR or anything)<\/p>\n

10\/3 – TX Tri Olympic Tri (holy crap, really?\u00a0 I actually have to do this insanity for reals?)<\/p>\n

11\/14 – San Antonio Rock and Roll Half Marathon (um, what am I doing to myself here? 6 weeks to train for a half?)<\/p>\n

11\/20 – Warrior Dash (again, fun with work friends)<\/p>\n

11\/25 (tentative) – Turkey Trot 5 mile run… if Zliten wants ta.\u00a0 He’s the one who mentioned this…<\/p>\n

Then, I do believe I’m going to take up knitting.\u00a0 Or maybe professional couch sitting.\u00a0 Something not making my body conditioned for 2-4 hours of consistent punishment.\u00a0 Actually – I have some ideas, you’ll have to stay tuned.\u00a0 Definitely in the realm of switching it up.\u00a0 I’m excited and scared and intrigued by some ideas at the same time.<\/p>\n

But yes, I have to get through the next 3 months.\u00a0 My goals are to extend my long run to 10 miles (inside – treadmill style at the gym) while working on the other two disciplines, so for the next 6 weeks after the tri, it’s just maintaining the endurance.\u00a0 I did 7 this week, and it wasn’t so bad.\u00a0 Doing my first 30+ mile bike ride this weekend.\u00a0 Next week I’ll tackle more swimming.<\/p>\n

Wait, did I really just sign up to do all this stuff?\u00a0 Oh well, the time to jump has already passed – I’m committed.\u00a0 Time to freefall and enjoy the ride.<\/p>\n
