I've learned that I don't workout unless I'm training for something. Most of the gals that I usually run with had signed up for the Cross Timbers Trail Run, so I figured I should too. After some frustration about finding a hotel room, Scott and I will be staying at the same motel as the rest of the gang. I'm glad he's coming along as he is my best friend and safe place.
Cross Timbers has a 50 mile, marathon and half marathon. I'd love to tackle the 50 mile event, but with the uncertainty of my right leg, I decided on the marathon. My goal for most events is to finish in the top 50%. So, after looking at results from previous years, I'd like to finish around 6:00-6:30. Of course, the weather could change everything, but that's what I'm looking at right now.
My running hasn't gone well for the last few months. While training for the Dirty Double Dozen, I injured my right hamstring and it hasn't completely healed, AND, 2 days before that event Dr. Flesher found a cyst on the back of my right knee. So lately, my training has been yoga, spin classes and the elliptical at the gym. But now that I have an event to train for - I'm motivated.
Namaste

Looking forward to running Cross Timbers with you!
I have found I have to sign up for an event to be consistent on working out too.
Looking forward to starting our training!
