Country Music, OKC and my summer plans
Well, it's more or less official. I signed up for the Country Music Marathon while in Phoenix last weekend. I had already signed up for the OK Memorial Marathon. Now, I just have to find a flight to get me from Nashville to OKC some time between 3 and 9 PM on Saturday, April 28, because that is the only way I can pull this off. I am both excited and nervous about the back-to-back opportunity. In fact, there is a small part of me concerned about pulling it off, especially considering there is a 6-hout time limit in OKC.
But it is a new, fun and exciting challenge that will give me something to focus on this spring. Plus, once I get into May, I will start focusing more on triathon training, because, well, I have decided to take another stab at Redman. I am not sure whether it will be the 1/2 or full ironman (who am I kidding, we all know if I try it again, I will be going after the full distance, but I haven't 100% decided that, yet).
Why triathlon?
I have been debating about what sort of training I really wanted to do this summer. Honestly, the idea of all the running required to tackle the Tahoe Triple really didn't excite me. Additionally, I have really enjoyed my off-season swimming this year and cannot wait to take the bike out for a spin. So why not stick with what I enjoy? Therefore, the Tahoe Triple has been put on hold indefinitely.
Oh, and I can't forget about Rock and Roll San Diego in June with Team in Training.
But today, I just want to enjoy a relaxing Sunday. All I really have planned is a trip to the dog park so Shiner can run around in the snow and watching football later today. And I better enjoy it because there probobly won't be many other Sunday's like this for me over the next several months.

Dude, if you do the San Jose and Virginia Beach Rock and Roll Half Marathons in the fall as well as those other three, you totally get the Rock Star medal!
