Double Trouble

So us sisters went ahead and did something totally crazy this weekend!  I guess you can call it our own little Valentine's gift to ourselves...Or we can think of it this way which is a lot more fun and creative...We got a serious and acute, case of race sign-up frenzyitis.  It is a condition that can become chronic if left untreated whereby runners lose control over their common sense and other faculties and sign up for races without really thinking about it cerebrally, or with a shred of common sense. This condition is often found in combination with a drinking binge or with drug use but in our most recent case we were not under the influence.  However, we signed up for 3 races over St Patty's Day Weekend (March 19&20) in the matter of about five minutes time!  That might be some kind of record, but I am not sure.

So this St Patty's Day forget about us being lucky, we will be super fit and super having fun at a bunch 'o races!  You will see us out at the Claire Festival of Races 10k on Saturday and the Bay City Double Challenge (which consists of an 8k followed by a 5K race) on Sunday.  Isn't it awesome baby!?  23 kilometers in 26 hours time!  It makes me feel like this!

Vern and Mird looked a lot like this after they signed up for all this craziness!

or maybe they looked more like this:


Either way we are just a couple of happy dawgs gearing up for some fun running adventures!  And we just wanted to let everyone know in case they feel like joining the sisterhood for any of these upcoming adventures.  Or maybe just coming out to cheer for us that would be cool too!!!  Here are the registration links for both races:

Hope to see some of our fans, or fellow running addicts, out at these wonderful events.

PS special thanks to my mom for helping with childcare for the weekend so that I can get away for this adventure!

Vern and Mird Out... on a training run most likely!  Now that we signed up for all these crazy 23 kilometers of races next month, we better get into shape!
