So I am officially signed up for my first race in more than 2 years. My mom, sister and I are doing 10K each for the Around the Bay relay at the end of March. It's the first time we've ever done a family relay - a few years ago we all raced the Mother's Day 10K at the same time (which I actually won in 39 and change but there were no prizes). I'm running the last 10K, which also happens to be the hilly part of the course. I'm excited and nervous - going to try hard to stay healthly for the next 5 months and build up to 10K.
Otherwise, things are going okay from a training perspective. Did the Wilson St Hill on Friday (around 4K and 115 m of climbing) which is the biggest in the area to train on. I'm almost fit enough to try doing it twice, but not quite yet. I'm also building up my run - did 12 min straight as part of my 5.7K run. Gonna work on building up to 30 min straight by the end of the year. Achilles is still maybe a 6.5-7/10. Back/leg is a 7.5/10, and my right shoulder is probably a 6/10. I hope to start swimming soon, maybe in a week or two. I have my tattoo on Friday so I will likely wait until after I have recovered from that.
I also want to start other activities: rock climbing, cardio kick boxing, maybe crossfit?
We'll see how the week goes.
