It's rare that I write a post that has nothing to do with the kiddos but I can't let the months of April and May go buy without mentioning all the racing that Oscar and I did. I can't even recall all the events that Oscar has done but I'll try to do a quick run down of each weekend.
Opps, I forgot about Ironman 70.3 California back in March. Let's not forget that suffer-fest!
April 11-12th Oscar was in Texas to race Galveston 70.3, I think. Back at home I ran the Rock 'n Roll Raleigh Half Marathon. I really can't remember any of his race times.....anything beyond 4 hours is just crazy anyways. I ran a 1:39 which put me in second place for my age group. Not my best time but considering all the foot issues that I had been having the last month it was pretty good.

The following weekend, April 18th, I ran the TarHeel 10 miler and Oscar ran the 4 miler. I paced a couple of my running buddies and helped them to achieve new PRs. Most definitely not my fastest run but very enjoyable nonetheless.

The next weekend, April 25th, Oscar was back in Texas for a charity ride with several of his team mates.
May 16th put him back in the Woodlands volunteering at the Ironman Texas where he raced last year. I ran the inaugural Not So Normal Half Marathon in Carborro. This race was so poorly marked that many runners went off course, myself included. So the results said I placed first overall for females but we all know that's incorrect since I missed a mile somewhere along the way. No way I ran a 1:22 half! But it was a fun morning spent with friends out sweating on a hot and humid Sunday.
And that brings us to the last weekend in May where Oscar is racing in the Raleigh 70.3 Ironman tomorrow morning. And next weekend he'll be back in California to check Escape for Alcatraz off his bucket list.
Phew, I'm exhausted just trying to keep track of all these races!
