I guess I haven't written in a while...

This is why I hate blogs. I haven't written anything in over a month and I don't really feel like I have anything interesting to say, yet I feel obligated to write.

I'm trying a new training routine that involves 6 days on, 1 day off, with one day of two workouts. It sounds overwhelming, but I'm trying not to think about that part and just give it a try. If my body stages a revolt, then I will go back to 5 days on with 2 days off.

I signed up to play ultimate frisbee this summer. I'm pretty excited, but I don't know ANY of the rules/how to play/how to throw/etc. I guess it's trial by fire...

Some friends and I are going to try a couple adventure races this summer which I'm pretty geeked up about. One is in downtown Columbus, so it's much more urban than most adventure races and the other is at a state park close to Athens, so that will involve more off-roading. Basically, it's a combination of canoeing, mountain biking, running, hiking, and orienteering, with the potential for other surprises sprinkled in just for fun. These two races take 6 hours each (there are others that take anywhere from 8 up to multiple days). I've never done anything like this before, but I'm anxious to give it a try and since you compete with a team, I won't be the only one suffering through!

So, I guess this summer will be about trying new stuff. I'm going to do two Olympic Distance Triathlons and if my body will let me, I'm going to try to run the marathon in October. And, just so I don't get too bored, I'm playing softball three nights a week :) You're only young once, right?
