A New "First"

A while back, I blogged about remembering my "First"..run.  Do you remember it?  Anyway, the reason I bring it up is because one of the things I'm most looking forward to is being able to experience a new "First".  I don't know about you but at 32, I'm running out of things that are truly new "Firsts". 
  • Marriage - Check
  • Baby  - Check
  • Home - Check
  • Marathon - Check
  • Triathlon - Check
Now don't get me wrong, I have LOTS of things on my Fitness Bucket List that I would consider firsts but nothing like this. 

If you would've told me back in 2003 (?) when I ran for the first time that I'd be traveling across the country to be part of a relay team with a group of athletes from all over the country, I would laughed at you. 

The anticipation is building.  The flight out there is going to feel like the longest ever (unless I sleep which is entirely possible since I'm on a 6:30 AM flight).  It's just all new and I seriously can't wait.  It's all about the experience and believe me I'm going to hold on for the ride!

I'm so grateful to Nuun for pulling this all together and giving me a chance to have a new "First".

What was your latest "First"?  If you could do anything for the "First" time what would it be?

    I would like to run my first triathlon at some point, or 50-miler, or get GREAT PRs for the first time!

  2. Running my first half marathon two and half years ago.

    That is a first I wouldn't mind doing again.
