I have a 2×1 mile today with a 3 mile warm up and warm down. Very light week for me because I race on Saturday in Bermuda- its my first race of the year and I only have to do the miles at a 5:20 pace, full rest in between, should be an easy workout….we’ll see.  I had to take my flats in to be resized for a different pair; Brooks sent me the wrong size. Then I’ve got to figure out what trainers I should wear for the year. A busy day ahead! Off to the dentist, Daniel has basketball practice, its spirit week at the girl’s high school, Madeline has speed and agility..got to go!

I have to wait for race invites, and unfortunately many runners are invited to more races than they can attend so I’m trying to be smart about which ones I’m doing- I’m looking into the RKA Invitational in the middle east, something I thought might be pretty fun until my husband reminded me that the travel would take a full 2 days…that’s a very long time to recover from that large of a time lapse, not to mention the heat and humidity is not  conducive for a great race time.  So we’re debating on that now.

Another big obstacle is clothing.  We have to investigate what type of clothing I’m allowed to wear over there which will be a major deciding factor.  Can I run in a just sports bra and running shorts??
