That pretty much sums me up.. which causes catastrophic stress levels when making decisions. They become very well educated and reviewed choices, but it promotes high levels of anxiety...
Anyhow, I am dwindling over what races to aim for next. I mean, I ran a half, I ran a full.. whats next up for Crazy Heather... hmmm
at the moment we are drooling over how much traveling I want to be doing in the next few months to race, obviously I want to do it all, and could "theoretically" but financially is another question...
Up on the chopping block to choose from currently include:
Lake Tahoe - they have a full week of marathon activities... including a 2 man and 5 man marathon relay, which really just sounds like too much fun... working on the det's of getting a group assembled, but its a good possibility... September 26th
City to Sea Half Marathon - Fundraiser for Cuesta College Track team, I have helped with the finish line of this race for 2 of the 11 or so years its been happening, and its in SLO, a pretty good excuse to go visit, don't you think... October 10th
Big Sur Half Marathon - miss labeled due to the fact its actually run in Montery, but beautiful, and flat none the less, another great possibility for a fast fast time, as it only has 1 climb to ... wait for it.... don't loss your pants... 70 feet... I think that is manageable, I mean might be a toughie after the SF marathon... don't you think... all kidding aside, that one is November 13th...
calender/training wise, all do-able... travel/$$ wise... probably need to pick 2 and schedule more out for the next calender year....
Ideally I am looking for new adventures, but still want to go back and conquer shattering 2 hours for the 1/2 and 4 hours for the full marathon... meaning I am going to have to look for "standard marathon courses" whatever that means, that aren't labeled things like "The course even marathoners fear"... sooo lame and unexciting, haha!
(btw, apologizes, I just has a Mocha with espresso, I am a little energized at the moment, as I normally have half caf black coffee I sip on for an hour or two in the morning)
