ADD mixing with long range planner

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)
