Barrier Island ECOthon

ECOthon shark be the change logoThe Barrier Island ECOthon is just two weeks out, October 25th. This will be my first adventure race, rather short at 34 miles, but a great starting place.

I’ve never been a runner or cyclist . . . or kayaker . . . and only just began exercising again after a several years of sitting around.  At the end of an enjoyable 10 mile run the other day, I was shocked at where I suddenly found myself—feeling great after fairly substantial feat. Granted, I’ve been slowly and steadily pushing myself for a couple months now, but what a dramatically different place than I was just 150 days ago.

I’ve recently started logging my training workouts on Garmin Connect to help track mileage and progress.  If I end up getting the waterproof gps unit (Forerunner 301xt) before the race, I’ll log it as well.
