Deluge of Dates

I've been looking over the list of upcoming races, and there are so many that I'd like to do. Then I realize that I cannot possibly do them all and still 1) get enough sleep, 2) be a good girlfriend, and 3) maintain a sense of sanity.

I have promised myself that I will think long and hard before signing up for anything else. With three space shuttle missions in three months, taking two classes this semester, working with the new Bay Area Multisport group -- and oh yeah, trying to retain some form of calmness in my life! -- I don't want to attempt anything more. What I've already signed up for is probably too much in the first place!

That said, here is my schedule for the next few months:

January 26 - Mardi Gras Beach Run 10K (with Debbie)
February 9 - Surfside Half Marathon
March 1 & 2 - Texas Independence Relay
March 15 & 16 - Seabrook Pelican Challenge (a half marathon both days, like last year)
March 30 - Lonestar Half Ironman

I hope to see many of you at one or more of these events!

Combine those with my non-athletics schedule:

February 7 - STS-122 launch
March 13 - STS-123 launch
March 26 - my 30th birthday!
April 12 - Karen's wedding in Atlanta
April 24 - STS-124 launch

It's gonna be a busy spring!
