as the endurance world turns.

Once again the ebb and flow of my race calander has changed.

I had a great weekend in Charlottsvile and spent some wonderful time with family and friends. It was picture perfect. The race went very well. It was a beautiful coarse that went through Downtown and the University of Virginia campus. It is what I call a hilly course and did not have alot of spectators. I had some breathing issues but at mile 2 I had a good deep cough and cleared the plug. the next 3 miles went well with no issues other than there were no mile markers from 2 on. I do remember thinking "holy shit this is a long mile" It was a long mile in fact it was 3. I have started taking allergy meds and I feel 100% better. I have always had allergies but usually they dont start till later in the season. So I quess I am now just part of the masses.

As you know, Team in training is a huge part of who I am. I had to drop running San Diego and I can not accept this. To not be a part of this family and having failed at the fundraising does not sit well with me. My obsession with Tri's is growing but my knowledge is very basic as it was when I first started running. I give TNT 100% for making me the runner I am and and know they can do the same in the Tri world.

So the decsion is clear. I will train with Team in Training and complete my first Tri with them. I have signed up to do the Nations Tri in Washington DC and will fundraise for this event. With that I will not be fundraising for Disney but of course I will be running the Marathon and be as much of a part of the team as I can.

Speaking of Disney I could not be happier that Andy and Lisa have sipped the Kool Aid and will be running as well. To say that this years Disney Marathon will be Epic is an understatement.

So there is this weeks edition of my soap opera. 2 weeks till the Relay and am super psyched.
