I am officially a member of M.I.L.F - Mothers In Lifelong Fitness, the team I'll be running the Ragnar Relay race with from San Antonio to Austin, TX. The twelve of us will be covering 196 miles, running 3-legs each over a 24+ hour period. Our team captain is my friend Ardis. We met in the New Moms Group at the local hospital were we both delivered our daughters almost 5 years ago. Time flies!
It's really exciting but it's serious training! I started running again after a month off. I took my running shoes to Europe but they never made it out of the suitcase. I started my training program again last week when I got back in town and it was rough. This week is a little better and hopefully next week will be a breeze... yeah, right! The race isn't until October though. Somewhere at the mid point of the training, we have several runs scheduled on our long run day. At one point, we (and I say "we" but it will be "I" since the rest of the team is in Dallas) will be running 3 5-milers in a day. Not looking forward to that, especially with the nasty heat/humidity combo we're dealing with here.
In other race news, my husband, signed up for the Mightymite Triathlon in AR on July 19th. He will be swimming 1/3 mile, biking 13 miles and running 3 miles. He started exercising again a few months ago and decided to enter this race with our friend Elizabeth, who ran the Germantown 1/2 marathon with me. I am very excited for him!
