New Adventure

For the past two weeks, I've been trying to figure out what to do next. Now that I've finished my first half marathon (yay!), I didn't want to just site on the couch and turn back into a fat, lazy slug. I worked really hard and I don't want to lose the level of fitness that I've obtained. After much thought, I came up with two solutions:

1. Pace a clinic
2. Train for another race

I'm doing both!

For the first, I've volunteered to pace the 10km running clinic at the Running Room where I did my Half Marathon training. I wish that I'd had the sense to go to a proper clinic before my first 10km race and I want to encourage the people who signed up. So far, I'm really impressed. They ran way too fast on their first day out, but that's typical from what I understand. Their first long run went really well. It was very cool to encourage other people. I had (IMO) a really good pacer for my clinic and I'd like to do half as good a job. It also gives me something to think about on days (like today) where my life is less than inspirational. At least my running can help someone else, even if the rest sucks.

For the second solution, I'll be blogging on the training. Let's just say that this race involves a lot more equipment than my last race, but running is still a major component!
