The Next Race
My friend is gone and it has been back to work and such. I recently signed up for another half marathon but this time it is a trail run in the mountains. I am very excited about this one, I've never dona a trail race before much less trained in the mountains as well. I did my first trail run last week and the altitude was a slap in the face so I ran most of the 5 miles but had to walk some of the "up" parts. The views from this trail run/hike is beautiful. The actual hike is 15 miles long but the first 2.5 miles in is a nice trail to run along. The race is an Xterra Trail Run; xterraplanet.com so go to the website and check it out. The race is going to be held on Sunday, December 6. The pictures posted here are of my trail run that I will be tackling a few more times like today.
I was born and raised in Houston, TX. I was big on socializing and having fun! Nothing much has changed over the years. Growing up I always wanted to move somewhere other than Texas. I enjoy Texas but never really enjoyed living there, just too far to any other state. When I was 22 I had an opportunity to work and live in Yosemitie, CA. That was an awesome experience which I will never forget. Then when I was 28, I moved to New Mexico where I finished my college degree in Community Health. By the time I was thirty, I graduated, met my future husband (didn't know this at the time) and then moved to Florida by age 31. My now husband, Brian and I moved to Hawaii where we live now but will be moving to Washington State next April. I guess my dream came true by not only moving out of Texas but moving to other states as well. I love moving around and seeing and experincing new things, it's especially fun sharing all the new excitment with Brian. I've already scoped out the triathlon world in Washington State and I have to say, I'm very excited to race in new terrain!
I used to do triathlons just to finish, now I love to fight for a medal. My husband, family, training/being active and friends are the most important things in my life. I live to be happy and fit!
