So, starting off the season is going to be Cotton Row 10K in May. My sister Kim is doing this race with me, and this is also the one race every year that my husband and I will run together. Hubby isn't a runner and prefers to maintain the minimum level of fitness to pass his PT Test and play Frisbee Golf. Which is A-OKAY with me because the rest of the time he's my personal race-day gopher. I have learned a good Gopher (i.e. "Go for...") is essential! He keeps track of me, my gear, and the all-important finish line beer ;-) Never leave home without your Gopher. Very important.

At the same time, we're starting swim lessons with my sister ("Seee-ster!") Jessi, and a little cross training on the bike for good measure so we're all Smokin' Hot for the family beach trip in June.
Then we'll switch focus from individual sport to Triathlon training for the first annual Nourse Family Triathlon. Which this year is going to be Huntsville HIWAAY Sprint Triathlon in mid-August. And then for myself, possibly the Rocketman Triathlon at the end of August. Because it's one of my favorites and I just can't help myself! There's a remote chance my brother Matthew will do this race with me since he's a Stellar Swimmer and we'll have him on a decent road bike this year.
From there I'll switch gears to my personal goals and get some speed-training in because, as I said, I want to get my run time up. I'll do the Huntsville Half Marathon (possibly with Jessi, she just doesn't know it yet ;-) Then the Rocket City Marathon with one of my Best-est Work Buddies, Glenn.

That's The Plan! [Rule the World!]
Next I need to get all this stuff on a calendar and get a training plan pulled together! lol.
