Athleta Iron Girl 10k/5k: Must have a Swagina

Posted Sep 09 2011 3:00pm
Yes, you are still at Blonde Ponytail.   Did it throw you for a loop that I didn't have a reference to Hood to Coast and nuun in my title? Or, was it the swagina reference?

I realize I have been a bit completely OBSESSED with the relay and the fabulous company NUUN .  You can't blame me, can you?!

The relay easily goes down as my favorite running moment of all time.  In fact, Harmony , Kerrie and I met up the next weekend before a football game, we missed each other so much!   


Kerrie, Cooper, Me, & Harmony
Sunday, I'm running my first 10k with my Tall Buddy Mel in Seattle. Accordingly, a PR will happen by default.  I have no idea how to pace myself for this distance.  

  Seattle RNR in June '11: Me, Amanda and Mel
I have to leave something in the tank for the last 2 miles or another Pukie Award will be earned.  Not the worst thing in the world.


Athleta Iron Girl has grown to include 14 events nationwide.  Check out the schedule HERE to see if something is near you.


I'm looking forward to a shorter distance and wonder if 10k's and half marathons might be more up my alley.  I have yet to get bitten by the marathon bug again after my marathon bonk in MayMy pride and confidence were a bit shattered after that experience and I have questioned my distance running ability.
Do you ever go through "mental stuff" like that?  I really want to tell my self-doubt voices to shut the %&!$ up.
Any hooters, if you are in the Seattle area and want to run or cheer on Mel and I, please say hi!  You must have a vagina to participate in this event though.
