A few months ago, I signed up for the Long Beach Half Marathon (to be held on Sunday, 04 October). I was checking the website yesterday for charities that I could set up a fundraiser, so I could collect donations during my training (none are available right now). I originally thought that the event was on Sunday, 11 October. It had always been on the second weekend in October every year before, so I don't know why it's on the first weekend of October this year. I did this event a few times before and I usually started training during the first full week in July, but I have to start training at the end of June/beginning of July this year which is in three weeks from now. In three weeks for the next three months, I have to stop being lazy with my running. This means that I have to become an old person who is in bed by 8pm so I can run at 4:30am/5am on weekdays (I still have to shower, walk my dogs and be at work by 9am during the week)
Also this summer, I am training for the "Finish The Ride" (50 miles) to be held on Sunday, 20 September. If you're not a cyclist, you may not understand this. The ride has a 3,500 feet total in elevation which is considered "hilly" and challenging. I think I'm ready for it as I did a 54.75-mile ride with a 3,600 feet total in elevation. I am still going to train this summer anyway. I'm trying to get some "big" rides together with some friends...either long rides or rides that are hilly and challenging.
I'm going to have a very busy summer.
