2011??

Since I officially have a following I figured I had better give them something to read...so here it goes...

With the coming of a new year one starts to think of what is in store...this year is a bit different b/c I am now married for 2011 ;-)...so this will bring all types of new challenges I am sure...on the professional front, 2011 has me still a teacher, and remaining as such for the foreseeable future.  Although, sometimes I get an inkling to begin something new...maybe more on that later...athletically, well things are a bit more open...I would like to do another marathon, and I have my eyes set on a trail version up in Michigan at the end of April, GO SEE IT ...or head down to Nashville, where I can find my one blog follower and hit up the Nashville Mara...I also have a big ride planned in June, the Blood, Sweat, and Gears Ride near Boone, NC...you can find it HERE ...prior to that a few of us are headed to a 24hour MTB gig in Mohican the first weekend of June...I would also like to get in a 1/2 IM this year, as last year was the first time I have not gotten one in for as long as I can remember...(was busy planning a wedding, and that was my main event for 2010!)...I would also like to try a 50k in 2011 if the running legs can hold up...I have had reoccurring issues with some Achilles tendinitis that seems to inhibit my running at times throughout the year...by then, my favorite time of year will be upon us...wait for it...CROSS SEASON, oh yeah, cyclocross has become my racing of choice the last couple of years...

SO THERE you have it...the rough outline...2010 had me in over 30 events of all types throughout the year, and 09 was about the same, so I assume 2011 will be in that ballpark...see you out there...
