I Have a Trick for You

I have barely taken a breath from Ironman Boulder and the EPIC Relay and yet strangers on the street keep asking me, “What’s next?”

What’s next is a lot of resting, sleeping, eating and wine consuming. There will be the occasional run, bike and swim thrown in there, but nothing too crazy.

Truthfully, there has been a lot of this going on.

I am not sure the kids know what to do with a non-moving mother.

I do, however, like having a plan an some structure to my training. I find it really motivates me…

So, what is up next is the Runner’s World Half and Festival in October (18th and 19th). I will be doing the Hat Trick. That means I’ll do a 5K and a 10K on Saturday and a half marathon on Sunday. All of this will be done in the scenic town of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania (the birth place of Jesus – oops nope wrong Bethlehem).

Actually, I have no clue if Bethlehem is scenic, but I think any little town in Pennsylvania in October with leaves changing and crisp temperatures should be pretty nice. And, in case you have been living under a rock, Bethlehem is the headquarters for Runner's World, some little magazine about our sport.

So…I’m signing up, how about you? I love that you get three medals, a shirt, a hat and socks. I am a lover of swag. My friend Kathy just told me what SWAG stands for. Do you know? I actually think I forgot.

Here are a couple of coupon codes to get 10% off. There are several choices to be made for races (5K, 10K, half marathon, 5 and Dime ((which is the 5K and 10K)) and the Hat Trick).

Keep in mind there are also kid runs and a dog run on Saturday. Quite the family event, yet I will be Ken-less and child-less that weekend.

Have you done the Runner’s World Half or one of the races before?

What’s your next race?

Do you know what SWAG stands for? Hmmm…Stuff We All Get? Sharting With A Girdle?
