Race season is near!

It's halfway through September and about a month away from race season kicking off in full force. I think I finally survived the summer months and am ready to run in some cool weather. The weather was so perfect here this past Sunday that I decided to run 8 miles and follow it up with a 62 mile bike ride.

5Kiwanis - Oct 3

Covington Classic - Oct 10

Bike Big Easy 20 mile Ride - Oct 17

Gulf Coast Half Marathon (my 5th consecutive!) - Oct 18

Cane Field Classic with the Machete Medal - Oct 24

Jazz Half Marathon - Oct 31

Battleship 12K - November 15

Big Easy Half Marathon - November 21

I was training to reach sub 2 for GCHM, but the partially torn LCL and some other issues put an end to that. Well, not an end, a pause. I'm going to do it - if for nothing else to prove to someone that I have not given up on that dream. 

The next few weeks will be tough, but I am also looking forward to heading to Augusta to support some people in the Ironman 70.3. Gonna be a fun 4 days of team dinners, chasing them around to catch pics and post on social media. Can't wait!
