It's about 9:45 on Saturday morning and I'm doing something I almost NEVER do. I'm sitting at home, relaxing with a cup of coffee, and thinking about what I want to do with the day.
AMAZING!
Those of you who work "real" jobs may not understand, but for a "weekender" like me Saturday mornings at home are a rare treat. The LAST Saturday morning that I was home was April 6. So, I'm enjoying this.
It gives me a little time to reflect on the Spring and look forward to the Summer. I'm off to the Dead Runners Society world conference next weekend, then Anchorage, then back to Seattle and boarding a ship for the Great Alaskan Maritime Marathon. It's going to be a fun couple of weeks.
Once I get to July 1 all of my time and energy will go into the final preparations for the Chicago Distance Classic. The race keeps getting bigger, and we hope better. What started in 2002 with 2400 participants is now a nearly 12,000 person event. I'm hopeful that we can get in front of the growth this year and make sure that every element of the race is done well.
But for now I'm going to relax a bit, pour myself another cup of coffee, and take it easy.
