    And for something different

    I am running my first 10k road race in a year.  In fact, this same event was the last event I ran other than an aborted effort when I was battling with my calves earlier this year.   The Spar Ladies 10k is a festival for women - runners, walkers, elite athletes and your average joe - or should that be Joan.  I'm looking forward to it - a different energy and culture.  The 11 year old will also be doing the 5k with her aunt - gonna be quite an experience for her.  Certainly, she has done some things in the last three months, she would never have done otherwise.  Good for her!   Aileen (Her Blog) is my regular running partner and since introducing Chi Running to her style, she has taken off and I am sprinting to keep up - Go you good thing with a PB this Sunday for sure!  Vivette - another novice runner - is about to tackle the 10k for the first time.
     
    What a great way to celebrate being alive - doing things that challenge and stretch us further than we ever thought.

    Heh, running. The more you run, the more you can run. That's wicked shit though... getting your 11 year old involved? Mad respect. I could rollerblade, bike or even skateboard 10k. Running? Id rather watch Brokeback Mountain with the guys while eating hotdogs and suffer the awkwardness... maybe.

    Dude..as a red blooded male, you would somewhere find the wherewithal to run 10k with several thousand women!

  • Santacruzrulz's Space

    I host two cycling stage races - road and mountain bike - and I have just added a third event - The Alchemy Trail.. I like to tour rather than race and I crave wide open spaces. I completed the 2300km Race Across South Africa in June 2009 which inspired blogging. I don't do well without a goal of sorts and that keeps me outdoors.

    While this seems primarily a cycling blog, I'm interested in much, much more. There's more on trail running, novel writing and anything else that catches my interest.
