Back to the roads

Now it's time for me to get back to the roads.

As I have mentioned before, I am working on getting Dorann across a 5k finish line. This is an important goal for me as I think it will be a good goal for us to achieve together. I am looking forward to moving toward another distance race goal I just haven't decided what that goal will be yet.

I am signed up for the Des Moines Half Marathon, but that is not really a new distance goal. I would like to raise more money for charity and we'll see how my team does on the fundraising front. My main goal for that event is to make a difference for a good cause.

But what to do for my next distance event? I am pondering doing a 50k road race in the North Face Endurance series, but I don't know how that will shake out. The schedule and entry fee for that event hasn't been published yet. I could see myself doing a marathon, but it is not a requirement. I would just like to see how far I can run without stopping. That idea intrigues me. Maybe if I don't do the NF run I'll join Team In Training and see where that takes me. Like I said, I haven't chosen my next goal yet.

For now I'm just enjoying working with D and appreciating the simplicity of going for a run and not deciding how far until I'm out there.

See you on the roads folks!
