CRAP!
This morning I was going to add the summer buckeye 50k to my race schedule. The last time I tried to add it I couldn’t find the date for it. Well, the summer site has been updated and they have the date posted - it’s the same day as the winking lizard 4-mile and the day before the off-road triathlon! Darn it!!!! So…now I’m torn. I don’t know what to do - obviously there is no way that I’m going to be able to do all 3. I mean, even doing Winking Lizard was going to be tough with a race the next day since I like to hang out at the street party and drink afterwards. (The 4-mile run is not the problem…) I promised Joe that I would do the off-road tri. Plus, it just seems like it would be cool.
I guess I’m just going to have to think about this. I refuse to miss the Winking Lizard run. It is fun and lots of my friends who aren’t ‘runners’ do it. I have done it every year since it started and I want to keep it that way. So I guess that means that I’m just going to have to be a cheerleader for the summer buckeye 50k. I’m going to be the BEST cheerleader EVER! Actually…this may work to my advantage…the winter buckeye 50k was freezing cold so all of the guys had their shirts on - I bet during the summer one I’ll get to see lots of skin - BRING IT - (can we have small print on the registration form that says guys with big guts must keep their shirts on?)

I think you’ve got it right. Do the Shot in the Dark and the tri. I’ll skip be skipping the Shot in the Dark this year, so I can do the Buckeye 50k.

You can run just half of the 50k. That might actually be fun.
