April 24 Has Been Set!

If anyone reading my blog pays attention to my annual race calendar, which always seems to be in draft mode, they may have noticed that I have two races listed for April 24:

 

I was hoping to do the Fayette Striders Mt. Summit, in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, with my cousin Lynn. We were not sure though, because she was having a problem with her foot. Oh, and I had had a problem with my knee. If that did not work out my plan was to sign up for the GW Parkway 5K*.
However, as of last night, Lynn and I are IN! We are going to run 3.5 miles uphill to the historic Summit Inn Resort! Her daughter will be joining in on the fun and will likely fly right on by us uphill. Lynn has done this once before and I'm...looking forward to it! The run has an elevation gain of over 1200 feet, and should look something like this: 

Afterwards we get to run back down!

The best part is Riley will get to come along for the trip. Though she will not do the uphill race, she will get to visit her dog mom, Izzy!

*Actually, if the Mt. Summit event did not work out I was not going to run the GW Parkway 5k, but instead volunteer at a powerlifting event in Tysons Corner...
