Quarterly "Checkup"

OK, so it being May 1st I thought I'd do a quarterly update to see how my resolutions are coming along (yes, I realize I'm a month late, but hopefully no one is keeping track).

First off, I have to say that I missed the boat on the snowshoeing trip for early 2006 (there is no longer snow out East (that I"m willing to travel to anyways)) so will have to get my fatass in gear for late in the season. Stay tuned...

On-Track:

• weekly yoga practise is going well & my legs are happy
• training is going-ahead full-tilt for Mississagua Marathon (13 days!) and expectations are still on for sub 3:15 finish
• Finished Around the Bay 5km - placed 3rd in AG! Woo hoo (got my fatass kicked by a 15 year-old and 17 year-old though) :)
• daily running log is going well & updated daily
• volunteered at 2 indoor track events (so far)
• signed up for all 5-Peaks races (but know of 2 that I will have to miss - hmmm, this should be in the other column I think)
• am 95% committed to running the Full Monty in BC when I am out visiting (so that's out-of-province for me PLUS a fatass event) - woo hoo 2 birds with 1 stone
• Managed to get a trail run in with friends on Bowen Island when I was visiting over Easter so if I end up bailing on Full Monty (note to self - don't bail, don't bail), then maybe I can get 1/2 points for the Bowen Trail run :)

Off-Track:

• crap - did I say I'd do a duathlon? Guess I better get planning & introduce my legs to that thing called a bike
• crap - have to miss 2 5-peaks races (see above)
• I've given a lot of thought to hosting a jog-a-lager event, but no plans in the works yet...
• missed the 3 dolla bill run, but see "Full Monty" above
• double crap - did I really say I was going to try a 50km? I'm waffling on this one - no Conquer the Canuck this year (so I can't be blamed) and I"m fence-sitting for the 25 vs 50km for Run for the Toad...stay tuned

Whew - well, that's the update I guess so I'm getting there, but obviously have some work to do in getting my fatass in gear.
