So after I had begun the process of serious training again I needed my goal. The first weekend after bootcamp I decided to settle down and do a little search for different races. Emma and I had browsed through a few schedules before but hadn't really settled on anything.
One of the sites I stumbled across was for the USARA (US Adventure Racing Association). I was hoping I could find something similar to the Muddy Buddy with a twist. Turns out an adventure race is just the thing. There are various lengths of adventure races (AR). The one we chose is defined as "Endurance: a four- to twelve-hour race, featuring limited navigation and orienteering."

So after we examined Emma's schedule we chose the May race in Macon so it would fit into her schedule better. I started looking at various training plans and found out that I was already doing the perfect thing for Month 1, getting my out of shape butt into shape. Month 2 will be the same. It's in Month 3 that things get really interesting but I can't share all my surprises just yet. :-)
