so what's a runner to do when she starts the new year with an injury? crosstrain! on land and by water, i shall prevail!
the only local duathlon i was able to find was the tbr series in granite bay. it's the same race held on june 7, july 12, and august 2. a 1.5 km swim followed by a 10km run. on paper it looks easy, but i can't swim more than 1 lap and that's what, only 100 m? i've got to multiply that by 15 and then i have to run 6.2 miles? ha! ha! ha!
the first race is 6 months away, which gives me plenty of time. i'm hoping that my foot will be in good shape by then, especially considering i took most of november and all of december off. if not, i'll just tear my hair out and cry in a hole. but here's to hoping that because i'm not 30 yet, i'll heal up nice and fast ;)
my other "sporty" resolution for the year is to spin at least twice a week. it would kick ass if the spin bikes at our gym calculated mileage, but they don't. so i can only measure the frequency of my visits. the 6am class on tuesday and thursday work very well with my schedule. and there's an 8am class on saturday. so really, i have no excuses.
i wish i could schedule in at least a half marathon this year, but i don't want to be dumb. getting my foot back in proper running form is my first priority.
so that's it folks. pretty simple. 2008 is the year i go bi!

Good thing, I know you were referring to two sports and not "bi" in any other sense. Otherwise, I bet this post title generates some interesting traffic through Google searches!
What an awesome slogan for the upcoming year! You're totally going to kick butt in 2008.
Also, totally LOVE the new blog layout- you're very good at designing your blog, it just keeps looking better and better!
