It is hard to run pretty when the trails are so ugly.
This year is my first ever multisport year. I am a habitual runner - half marathons mainly. But somehow - after years of yo-yo running I have decided that multisport is the way to go for me.
What do I mean about yo-yo running? Oh you know.. you go all out, you are in love, you are addicted. Then... well then something happens. You fizzle. You pop. You poop out burn out and handg up the running shoes. And then you come back, weeks, months, or even years later.
That was me since 2003 - yo-yo up and down, love hate. The dichatamy was astounding. How can I keep the love alive?
Enter the idea to train and complete my first triathlon in 2008.

I took the challenge one step further. I am doing 3 triathlons in the week of my 30th b-day. I am doing the Lansing legislator on 8/10, the B-fit Bday challenge 8/11-12 and the Trex Tri on 8/13.
Another August B-Day like mine.
It is nice to have you here.
