I decided I won't do the Olympic Tri - I had in mind. Simply stated the equipment needs are more that I can justify financially, and I really just want to get my feet wet with the Tri thing first. So a sprint it is!
I thought about doing the Women's Rock Half Marathon, because it looks like FUN! and there jewelry and hot men involved - but I've got too many commitments at that time of year for a teacher (Sept 1st race date).
I've been telling people that I won't be doing the Twin Cities Marathon again and that I'm taking the year off... but guess what -- I will!
Either I'm an idiot or awesome.
Currently my vote is both.
Back Story:
Earlier in the week I saw this tweet:
I'm doing it, R U? RT @tcmarathon: 2 things: 1. The marathon is half full. 2. The price increases on Friday. REGISTER! ow.ly/9KBru

... and then I had an awesome run! I did make a point to talk to my workplace running buddy before I exhaust the cash to do this thing in which we had a mini pro/con chat, but mostly: she was all for it!
Further Back Story:
I really did mean to take this year off initially... but the more I thought about I realized I didn't want to put it off, as I wanted to do another at some point. Truth is: I learned a lot along the way of training for my first marathon, which is to say - mistakes were made! Everything turned out okay, but I keep thinking about what if's? What if no injury? What if I did hill training? What if this? What if that? I know the what if questions aren't always the best - but I just want to know - so here I go.
