eeny, meeny, miny, moe....

Having escaped burnout (this time), I'm now looking forward. Onward to more races! My calendar is half empty! Well, and we just can't have that! *note sarcasm*

I'm considering several races and realizing that I simply can't do them all. Physically or financially, it's just not possible. I'm in the process of picking and choosing; a lame attempt at wise scheduling.

Here's the rundown so far:

• There is a race next week that is intriguing. I just don't know if I'm recovered enough to happily tackle an 8k or financially stable enough to afford the registration. The jury is still out on this one. ....and I'm running out of time.

• There's also Tybee. I know I can't do this one but list it because it's one that I want to run. Maybe next year....

• Reedy River is an option...

• I'm hoping to run the Atlanta half with some of my TNT people...

• Cooper River is a must. I registered last year and didn't get to run it. I think I'm rallying some friends for this one. The more, the merrier!

• And then there is the Easter Bunny Run in Clemson that is so silly I think it'd be a blast....

Of course, all this after just having finished Nike Women's (duh) and I ran my first post marathon recovery race this weekend. That was fun! Once again, I'm asking the infamous question of "now what?" all while trying to catch that tiger by his toe.... He's a very tricky tiger.

I'm working under an art deadline this week, which means I'm pulling triple shifts. On top of my day job and my training, I'm cramming artwork. I was swinging it all ok until yesterday.

I was so wiped out that I could barely keep my eyes open at the office. I had planned on going for my run immediately after work. I changed that. I decided a power nap would do me good and would only slightly affect my deadlines. I went home and gladly climbed into bed. A good hour and a half later I woke up to realize I had failed to think about setting an alarm and that it was now too late to get a run in without running in the dark. alone. Crap.

Ok, no big deal. We'll just shift my rest days around. I'll run in the morning and move my long run to Sunday. Flip to this morning.....

Crap. I slept through my alarm going off for a full hour. Crap.

ok, we'll get the run in this afternoon. I'll have to brave the heat of the day, but it can be done. Meanwhile, I still have a full plate of artmaking to cram in before my deadline this weekend.

Interference. It's the name of the game this week.
