I slept from 11:00 last night until 11:45 today. It felt so good. I’m really not very sore at all. In fact, I was more sore last week after the Rockets Run and soccer than I am today. Weird how those things go.
After yesterday’s Half, a little voice in the back of my head has started going “you know…you could still do the Love the Half Texas Challenge…”
If I did, I’d have to start in two weeks with the 3M Half in Austin.
Jan 29 – 3M Half – Austin
Feb 12 – Surfside Beach Half – Surfside
Mar 19 – Seabrook Lucky Trails Half – Seabrook
Plus two of the races in April and May. I dunno. I have a feeling I’m not really mentally prepared for that, and am instead just riding on the high of a successful race yesterday. But it’s something to think about. Realistically, I’m thinking this may be a good year to do the Texas 10K Challenge, and save Love the Half for next year.
I just want to make sure I have something to work toward this year. The 10K Challenge actually is probably a good one, because it will force me to keep somewhat in shape for the summer and early fall races.

I thought about signing up for it again this year as I’ve done 7 Texas events of half distance or greater already. But it’s $70 right now just to register for that. If I was going to do it, I’d do 12 events and get the third finisher’s item; however, I thought were those worth the money plus the glory of saying you’ve done more events than anyone else. (The closest person has done 4 right now.) Nah!
The 10K Challenge is free. If you do them all, I’ll track the results on my web site (since we don’t know if the Bayou City Classic folks will really get the clue on that) and it’s possible that you, me and Jessica could knock it out together.

I didn’t get out of my jammies until 1pm!! It was awesome! I’m thinking about the 10k Challenge. Not sure yet due to how the dates fall, but I’d like to try for it.
