Race week!

Finally it is race week! I get to finally stop reading other peoples race reports and finally write one of my own. This sunday I will be returning to Gettysburg to run the 2nd Blue-Gray Half Marathon. The fun twist of this race is you have to pick a side (blue or grey, gettysburg, get it) and at the end of the race they add up the total times of each side and declare a winner and the runners of the winning side get extra bling! I am a chicago boy so I will be running for the blue and running with me will be my friend Erin and being from the volunteer state she will be running for the grey.

I am psyched to be at this time of year when I usually run my races. The weather has cooled off and it is a pleasure to get outside and run.

As you can see below is my calander as it stands as of today and if you can do the math it is one event a month for the next year! That is and was my goal. There is a little event next sept but I will talk about that little beauty next month.

I havent figured out my scheduled milage for the rest of the year but I am pretty sure I will break 1000 miles this year. Next year my goals are to swim 200 miles, Bike 2500 and run 1200. Very lofty goals but why start the year with a small goal.

It will be a tremendous effort to accomplish this but I have great mentors, great friends and an amazing supportive wife and with them standing beside me I can not fail.

So let the journey begin!
