Double Duty!

This past Sunday I challenged myself by running two races in one day. YES I actually signed up and paid on purpose. I had always known I wanted to do the Disneyland Half Marathon...hello its Disney! Then the concept of the Nike Human Race came about. Fun Monday runs with free dinner, 25 host cities all racing continuously for charity...hey it is an olympics year. Then I began to think about my original goal for 2008 - Merri's Triple Crown.

Merri's Triple Crown was supposed to be LA Marathon(March), Disney 1/2 (September), Chicago Marathon (October).

Well thanks to Merri's Rock 12/30/07 that took care of my quest for LA. Disney and Chicago are still goals but I needed something to celebrate the third facet of my life Los Angeles and USC.
So the Nike Human Race (10K or 6 miles) started and ended on the grounds of the Los Angeles Coliseum and ran through my old ghetto...the USC neighborhood.

There you have it...after I cross the finish line October 12th in Chicago my quest for Merri's Triple Crown will be complete with a minor revision. :)
