And so it goes...

So my blog is underway as is my training for the big day coming up on October 30th. As you may or may not have heard, I competed in Georgetown's IronMed Triathlon on April 10th when I swam 1000 meters, biked 15 miles, and ran 10 km in 2 hours and 21 minutes. I also ran the George Washington Parkway Classic 10 miler in 72 minutes and 40 seconds on April 24th and ran my first under 20 minute 5 km race on May 1st, the Race for Hope to support brain tumor research. I have many hundreds of miles to run in the coming months in the quest to be able to run 7:17 mile pace for 26.2 miles. Wish me luck!

Upcoming events:

this Saturday May 21st - my first run with the Georgetown marathon team

this Sunday May 22nd - Capital Hill Classic 10 km race

Sunday June 12th - Tour de Cure 100 mile bike ride to support the American Diabetes Association
