- A few weeks back I put out there that I was debating whether or not to sign up for the Rock ‘n’ Roll Providence Half in August. Well as some of you pointed out, RnR races are a lot of fun and with one right in my backyard why miss this opportunity? So I’ve bit the bullet and registered! Now I’ve got two half marathons on my race schedule — given that I haven’t run longer than 7 miles yet, is that crazy?!
- And, speaking of crazy, I’m starting to feel like a magnet for crazies at the gym….or at least bad singers! Seriously the last few times I’ve been at the gym I get the one person who wants the treadmill next to mine who feels the need to break out into song! One time might be an accident, but by the 4th time I’m starting to wonder! And it’s never the same person. Going to the gym is starting to turn into one long bad American Idol audition!
- I’m going to try out Thai Muscular Therapy tomorrow. TMT is a unique combination of Traditional Thai Massage, Tui Na (Chinese Medical Massage), and Neuromuscular Therapy. One of my Pilates instructors, who also runs marathons, suggested it for my on again, off again ITB issues. I’m open to trying anything once so I figure I’ll give it a whirl!
1. You are not crazy at all–plenty of time to ramp up the mileage.
2. That is weird!
3. Cant wait to hear how it goes. Enjoy!
Not crazy at all. You will do just fine on those half marathons.
I like going to a quiet gym. I don’t know why people must chit chat while they are working out.
That’s awesome! I am planning on doing the Providence RnR too!!! We’ll have to meet up!
@Nancy – that would be great!
I break into song on the treadmill, but only in the comfort of my basement!
Congrats on signing up for half #2!
hope the massage helps!
You’re so NOT crazy! How exciting! Looking forward to cheering you on your journey!
