I know I didn't finish the 310 miles on my first attempt. I wasn't prepared and the temperatures got too warm, too quickly, however, now that things are cooling off some and the temperatures are back in the 90's, now is a good time to get back at it!
I've decided to change things up a little bit from the first time. I was originally going to run the 310 miles in 51 days, but since I ended up doing little running during the summer due to the heat, I found myself in the pool. Ironically, I ended up getting a swim coach and haven't looked back. I am in the pool anywhere from 6-10 times a week and have really started putting in the distance. Additionally, I now have a road bike and will be doing group rides with other bike enthusiasts. All miles, be it pool, open water swims, bike rides and runs, will now count towards my goal! I KNOW I will accomplish the task this time.
I am currently signed up for 2 running events - one in December (a half marathon) and one in February (a full marathon). Both events will be run in memory of Ethan and Reid!
Reid's mom is shaving her head with the 46 mommas event on 21 September (http://46mommas.com/) and I have chosen that day as my start day! I am excited to get back in the game and look forward to updating you as to my progress...for Ethan and Reid.
