FUN WEEKEND!!

I'm finally healing!!! Yea!! Ted and I did a trail run Saturday afternoon and my foot almost felt right. Still had to run gingerly, always being careful. The positive is that I really enjoyed the run. So with my foot still healing, Ted and I thought that this past weekend would be the best time to take our "Motorcycle Basic Skills" class. Really happy that I took this class as I feel so much more comfortable on a motorcycle now. Plus, you take your certificate down to the DMV and you obtain your license as the class serves as the test etc... Excited about purchasing a bike too!! I know what I want. Just have to find it. I may buy a beater that I can ride until I find the motorcycle I want!

If things go as planned Ted and I are headed down to Chattanooga to race the Rock creek Trail 1/2 and/or Trail Marathon. I'll use it as a fast workout, visit with some awesome friends and enjoy that small city. It has a great outdoor feel to it and it's about as close as I can get to the Boulder/Asheville Vibe.

What's next???

The photo on the left is from Black Warrior50k..2010. Coming into the finish. Can't believe that it's March already and I've done two 50k's. Been recovering all week. Sleeping a lot too. That's rare for me so it must mean I need it.

This weekend I watched the Tom King 1/2 marathon. I had lots of training partners running in this race. The highlight was Chris, who came in 3rd with a time of 1:11ish and took home around $4oo. Ted ran well(5K) to as did everyone else. So, really proud of these folks as they train hard for their results.

RUNNING STREAK: I have been running over 80 days with no breaks. 73 days in 2010..Don't plan on breaking the streak as I'm not injured or feel over trained. Believe there are four of us still in this competition. Fun Times!!!

NEXT RACE: I'm trying to plan it out..logistics, money time etc.. about four to chose from as the next race will be a 50miler. Was planning on May but we'll see. There is a Rock Creek 10 mile race in late march that Ted and I may go to. I will use that as a workout if not close to a Ultra race date.

RAW: Ok, I 've been raw on my food consumption for over a week. Loving it as it's the best way to drop my body weight. Need to get back down to the 130's. Will post when this happens!!
