Tasha - Entry #1

Sedona Az...Feb..It is just around the corner. I know this will be one of the most beautiful marathons. I need to do something that will compete with Rim Rock!! I am not sure I am mentally ready for this one so I am going at this as a fun run. I ran Magnolia today with 4 other members of our group. Just being outside, being in the moment and enjoying nature was enough to take my mind off the hills. I have been playing around with my stride on the climbs to find out what is most efficent. Chi running seems to be the best so far...ever heard of it? Pete from Golden seems to have the stride down. It is very low impact. I have been trianing M W F with spin class with Tony for an hour, then I run after that class for another hour. Someday I would like to get to the Gym by 4:45am to swim before the cycling to see how I do...then maybe I can prepare for my Tri Athalon or half Iron Man!!! I do long runs on weekends and also do 2 -3 Athletic Trianing during the week with Tony. I know it seems like alot but if you want it bad enough...you can make it happen.
