Another For The Day

Well, actually, I am just a little bored. So, if you have missed me this week - here is two in one day. As I mentioned my wife has to pull a late night. So, I am listening/watching a fantastic Christmas Concert from Luther College in Iowa on PBS. Feeling I need to do something while listening. I believe this is the same one from last year? Very nice though. Two things - participating in a Messiah production myself and listening to these fantastic upper Midwest Lutheran College Choirs gets me jazzed for Christmas like nothing else.

Anyway, one running note. I have rounded out my race/event schedule for the upcoming year (look to the right for the schedule). There might be a few changes with some of them. However, doing this ahead will help plan vacations and weekend trips. That's if we ever have the time for them?

Note the March, 6 Tunnels Half Marathon. It is an extended run to the Turkey Trot I recently did. Same trail, but with and added out back on the highway to the trail head. Also, I am leaning now to doing the San Diego Rock and Roll for my first Full Marathon in over 13 years. I am still keeping the Seattle Rock and Roll up, because we will be in Seattle most likely that week. If my body can do it, I would like to do the Half Marathon in Seattle. It will only be three weeks after San Diego though? Yet, since we will be there? Will see on that one? Who knows what life will bring for the upcoming year, however, I like planning none the less.

Also, after looking at the pix of my Vegas Rock and Roll race (which I will not post - I have yet to see one that doesn't have me looking like - "is this thing over yet") from ASI and talking to others who did the Full. I will do it again. I will do the Full next time though. Plus, next year we will plan on staying at the Mandalay Bay that night before. Odd thing to think. We live only 15-20 minutes from the Strip! However, the traffic to the start was awful. This way I can sleep in longer (yeah right) and walk out our Hotel to the start.

So, two postings in one day! Cheers!

Nice list! See you at Surf City - we'll need to exchange bib numbers. Also, a group of s bloggers/tweeters will be meeting up the night before. I'll pass the information along as I get it.

Two in one day? You are doing better then I am; lately it's been hard for me to eek out even a post per week! I think it's the busy time of year, lack of running, races, etc.

I like your race schedule. I'm like you, I like to have some sort of plan/goals in mind for the coming year so that it is easier to plan around vacations, kids breaks, etc.

Ok now, I've off to dream up some sort of post for the week. Take care!
