From the bad comes good.

Yesterdays anger was not a total fail. I turned my anger toward the gym, which means I ran 1 mile, did a full arm workout (with weights), a full leg workout (with weights) and a partial core workout (I ran out of time) So I will say my unhealthy anger at Disney let to some healthy soreness this morning.

In other news I found a really great race I would like to run in 2013 in France! However I will not make the same mistake twice...aka I wont register till I know exactly what my schedule is in London. But I will share it with you because its cool and exciting. So with that let me begin. I found the Rock N Roll race series not to long ago from reading Megan's blog I Run For Wine, http://www.irunforwine.net/ (yes I know I am late to the party on this one.) It is a 10miler, which I am a little afraid I might not be able to make, but I am going to push me to my limits and stay uninjured. The race is February 17, 2013 while I will be in London...so I thought what is a small train ride over to France for a 10 mile run.

Did I also mention registration isn't nearly as expensive as it is in the states! Ok so this race will put me in good standings to also run the Rock N Roll Half Marathon in October in St. Louis which means 3 medals! Yes I know there are only 2 shown here I can't seem to find the France one online...maybe they are keeping it a secret because it is the inaugural race. But the Rock N Roll series does what they call the heavy metal tour. The version of this tour I would be doing is one race in Europe and one race in the United States, which equals 3 medals.


 


Did I mention I like shinny things! Plus no medals to 3 medals in a  year sounds good to me! I also at some point would like to run this race in New Orleans just because I think it would be a neat place to run. Everyone says it is beautiful. 
 
I will get to goals for next year soon. Enjoy your weekend.
