My 2010 race season will officially start this Saturday with the Dallas Half Marathon. I'm so pumped to finally put all of the hard work of the last few months into a race and see how I do. I of course have super high expectations for myself, and I know I can can meet them as long as the stars align for a great race. I'm hoping to take 15 minutes off of my half marathon time from September which is a lot, but I know I have it in me thanks to Val.
This is just the beginning of a busy, and hopefully successful race season. This season is different, I am actually training properly, thanks to my wonderful coach. I have done so many races with little to no prep, so I'm really looking forward to see what my potential actually is. I have some goals set for myself, surprise surprise. I would love to place in my age group is some races so I can try to get into elite waves in 2011. I know that won't be easy, but nothing worthwhile ever is.
I cannot wait until my "A" race this summer. I think of racing Steelhead during every one of my training sessions. It is what keeps me going during my long and hard workouts.
I'm going to try and enjoy this week, tapering is not my favorite. I'm going to add in more yoga during the time that I would usually be training to keep my body moving and my mind clear and focused. I can't wait to get into some warmer weather and tear up the Dallas Half.
Wish me luck!!
