Referring back, I answered two general yet somewhat broad questions thus far:

I had a blast this weekend.  Running three races in three days tested my legs, but my focus, patience, and stamina.  Thank you to everyone that came out to the events, sent text messages (Thank you Twitter Twerps), and general support the past weeks of training and the events. I thought Sports backers and the Richmond Road Runners Club did awesome work and did their damn thing!  I cannot wait to do it again next year.  Here is a recap of this past weekend’s festivities:

Friday Filthy Mud Run 5K

Unfortunately, the brothers were not able to accompany me on the mud run.  This was my first mud run and I was psyched. I met many cool runners and many first timers like myself. I was not there to pull a record, but to enjoy the concept of getting filthy.  I am not so much a trail runner, so this posed a minor threat to my running. Prior to the 6PM race start, I saw some runners that stood out from the norm including a group of girls in prom dresses, a guy with a long beard, another guy in a suit, and a group of ladies known as the “Dirty Divas!” …  Interesting…

Well looks like I have had a spring cold versus the normal allergy attacks for the past week.  Being sick has certainly put a strain on my diet and exercise training.  What a bad time to be sick, but again it was better now than later.  It will be exactly one week before the Riverrock events, while I feel the anticipation building for the 25K total run I’ll be endeavoring, I’m feeling a bit apprehensive. 

Following up on my pervious blog entry regarding running three consecutive races in three days, this week is the start of my intense diet and training discipline.

Here is my current playlist for what keeps me going whether running on the treadmill, roadrunning, weightlifting or cycling downtown. An eclectic set of old and new school beats that will keep you pumped at a steady pace and potentially increase your distance..

May is going to be an exciting month for runners and the city of Richmond. I am pumped up about running three consecutive running races in three days. I can certainly say I will be working extremely hard training and maintaining a well balanced diet before the May 15-17 events. I am not looking to win the gold medal and a PR would be great, but rather enjoy what Richmond running is and enjoying this experience with my two fraternity brothers, which is our first time participating in a three day event. We are looking forward sharing this memorable experience and exciting time. Here is the breakdown of the upcoming event races that will be taking place in my new hometown of Richmond, Virginia.

Welcome to my blog, "Making Running Fun." Like many, I love to exercise but I get distracted very easily and need to find ways of entertaining  myself while I run. "Real" runners are never supposed to admit that they get bored, but who doesn't?! 60 minutes on the treadmill is enough to drive anyone crazy.
