Big Sur Trail Marathon

After hours of searching every race calendar on the web, Chris and I finally picked our big race of the year. I'm pretty excited to say that it will be the Big Sur Trail Marathon, on Sept 26.

Trail running is something that Chris introduced me to a couple of years ago. Prior to knowing him, I understood trails to exist for hiking, not running! Everytime we went, I had a great time... but that doesn't exactly mean that I ran the whole time :-)

I'm psyched to work on my uphill running strength. This should be a whole new challenge for me!

Watch out Chatauqua!

I saw Chrissie Wellington!

While I was pathetically at the gym to do a few push ups and situps, I walked by Simon Lessing's usual indoor cycling class and who do I see but Kona winner Chrissie Wellington! 

After reading about her in every publication of Triathlon Magazine for the last year, to see her in person was awesome. She is totally ripped. After sending a note to the BTC to inform everyone of her visit to Boulder, I learned that she will be training with Simon at the FAC all summer.

I can't wait to meet her!
