What's next?

Two days since the Blue Nose Marathon event and I'm looking for the next event to participate in! My running partner is away for almost 3 weeks, but we have tentative plans to run in the local "Muffin Run" in Lunenburg, NS on June 14th. It's a 5km run around the historic National Park. Sounds intriguing. Plus our hubbys would be joining us, so hopefully we can find a jogging stroller that will hold our two boys (5yrs & 18mons) to borrow.  Anyone reading this in the HRM willing to offer, we would be very thankful!

Meanwhile, I'm going to try and get together for a run with my good friend Michelle (read about her running and weight-loss journey here). We've never ran together before, so I'm really looking forward to the new, shared experience!

As for my other activities - spring soccer has ended. We had our last game Sunday evening and we won 1-0!  One thing I've really noticed since this training is my increase in energy and speed when playing soccer. I love it!  My teammates jokingly say I should run 5k every game day!  I think summer season starts in a couple weeks.

Swimming is still going great. I can feel changes in my stroke that are bringing my form more streamlined and powerful. I really get a rush off the feeling of pulling my body through the water. I wonder, is there a "swimmer's high"?  With an average of 1800-2200m per night, two nights per week, I'm getting some serious cardio and strength benefits that I'm sure are spilling over to my running and soccer.  

Did I mention I play softball too?  That season starts with an ice-breaker fun tournament this Saturday!  I wonder if maybe I'm trying to do too much?  What do you think?
