Well, the King County Courthouse is 12 flights of stairs. A few weeks ago I decided that I was allotted one trip on the elevator per day, and otherwise I will use the stairs. I can really feel it today, but the trip up is becoming easier and easier. This is my training for the Big Climb on 3/21/10, which is racing up the Columbia Center (largest building in downtown Seattle).
Coupled with ballet, Pilates and spin class this week, there are muscles aching that I haven't felt ache in a while!

2010 - What a start to the new year!
Well, Misty has challenged me to ballet. I have never taken ballet at any point in my life. Ever. And then Misty conveniently is "out of state" for the first two classes. This is pushing my boundaries. I appreciate the challenge, Misty!

How to Keep my Motivation
So, my plan for this year is to participate/compete in at least one organized event each month. Next up in February is the Valentine's Dash at Green Lake followed by the Henry Weinhard's St. Patrick's Day Dash & Chilly Hilly 33 mile ride on Bainbridge Island in March. The Big Climb is also set in March. April has me scheduled for a half marathon, and then nothing set in May for now. June is the full marathon, July is the STP, and August is the Danskin Triathalon.
Can't believe that half of 2010 is already filled with athletic events!!

2010 Goals and Challenges
Today I have registered for the two day 200 mile Seattle to Portland bicycle ride on July 17 - 18, 2010. This has been prompted in part by friend Victoria Lathrop's bike ride last summer, and friend Misty Baskett's enthusiasm and agreement to do the ride with me. Lori promises to cheer us on.
The training for the ride begins in earnst with the Bainbridge Island 33 mile Chilly Hilly on February 28, 2010.
Along the way, my goals for 2010 also include running the Seattle Rock n' Roll 26.2 mile marathon on June 26, 2010, and participating in the Danskin Triathalon August 14-15, 2010. Finally, making the Mt. Rainier ascent this summer is a goal, schedule permitting.
