I’m Still Alive….

I apologize to those who check the site and have been waiting for an update.  I am still alive if you were worried…

Last weekend I raced for the first time since Nats.  Have you ever left your car in the the driveway for months and tried to start it, only to cringe as it barely turns over?   That was me this past weekend.  Not only have I not raced in awhile, but I’ve been beat down by some pretty hard training recently.  Some of my races weren’t too bad, but a few of them were horrendous.  Luckily I’ll have a few days rest for Nats in ATL so I won’t be nearly as tired.

This weekend I’m heading to LA for Golden Goggles.  It should be a fun trip, minus the plane ride.  Then I leave to go home for Thanksgiving.  Christian and I (the only two in my family tough enough, yes, I said it) signed up for the Turkey Trot early Thursday morning in downtown Detroit.  That will count as my workout for the day, justifying the 8 million calories I will consume thereafter.  If you live in the area and want to join the run, I think you can still sign up, even the morning of…Don’t let staying out til 2am on the biggest bar night of the year deter you.

Special props to my mom who raised $1200 for swimsuits for kids in Detroit.  She has collected over 250 suits so far…Thanks to everyone who has helped her!
