Heading West


That's right!  This East Coastie is coming to see the "more America!"


As you can see I might need a little break from dependant unit time and a little bit more adult supervision.  Hubbs and I are excitedly nervous to get away from those wonderful kiddos for a few days of R&R.
In Shelly speak that means running and romance, isn't that what it means to you?

So I need help finding a race on October 1st near Freemont/San Jose area.
Anyone in the area wanna meet up?  Drop me an email.
I know the weekend will be a big racing weekend with the RnR marathon going on.  But I don't think I will talk Hubbs into letting me run that race.

Fitting my running in will be priority number 1 important.  I already have a plan for my flight days of grabbing a few midnight miles the night before to ensure my streak survives the adventure.  We have also booked a hotel with a treadmill just to be sure however, hubbs is so excited for a few days without the kids crawling on me together that he has fully embraced my crazy streak and is encouraging me to get those miles in so we can fill our days with fun and not be a grouch face. 

Send me your ideas of how I can get a race in on the West Coast
...or talk Hubbs into dealing with the huge crowds and running the RnR.

    Not sure what you mean by "near". This one's in Sacramento (about 100 miles from San Jose), but it's on October 2.

    Have you tried Active.Com? They usually list all kinds of run on there that is going on. I would have said the Long Beach half marathon or full but you'll be no where near that...

    Shelly! I live in Fremont! OMG. I have already been looking for an event to do that weekend because it is the anniversary of my bunion surgery. However, there is NOTHING. But, I am off on the 2nd and could take you to one of my beloved trails with Boomer, if you are interested. Drop me an email or message on FB if that's something you would like to do. :)
