Today was not the kind of day that I had planned on! But as my mom told me life is a bunch of interruptions!! So anyway I was not teaching today because I needed to take little A and I to the doctor for their 15 month and 4 year well visits. However, little A's appointment turned into a sick visit. The poor little girl is so congested. Her eyes are swollen and junk is coming out of them. It is not pink eye just a really bad cold. The doctor gave her some medication which I hope will make her feel better. So instead of taking the boys to school, taking A to the doctor and then dropping her off at daycare, so I could go for a nice mid-day run I brought my baby home. (This is when my brain started racing but I will get to that!) Which meant that I would be running later on in the day after I brought I to the doctor (I did AWESOME at the doctor and is now ready to go to Kindergarten...wow). I so didn't want to run. BUT I am so happy that I did. The training plan called for 3 and let me tell you I think those might have been the best 3 miles that I have run in a long time!
So here is the part which is causing my brain to race...I am trying to figure out what races I want to run this year! I can't figure out if I want to run a marathon this year or not. I would really like to get more half marathons under my belt! I love the half marathon distance!! One of my goals is to run 7 half marathons so by the end of the year I would have 10 half marathons completed, which I think sounds cool!! I also think about running a marathon but then I think about maybe I should wait and have my next marathon be the Disney marathon, which would be totally awesome. I am running the Princess Half marathon in February and would LOVE to get my coast to coast medal which would mean I need to go to Disney Land over Labor Day but I am not sure I can swing that! I so want to do it all! So as my mind races about what races I want to run at least I am having good training runs which means great races to come in 2013!
Races that I am sure that I am going to run:
Princess Half Marathon Feb. 24
Sandy Hook Run for the Families 5k March 23rd
Cheshire Half Marathon April 30th
Races I am thinking about:
Triple Crown of running: 3 Half Marathons located in RI
Danbury Half Marathon
Surftown Half Marathon
Iron Horse Half Marathon
Philadelphia Marathon or Half Marathon
Choices, choices...but for right now I am going to be grateful that I have the ability and drive to run.
Are you finding it hard to choose what races you want to do? Any suggestions?
