What to do?

So, as I look to my up and coming 2010 season I am so confused about what to do as well as what my family/husband will allow me to do. I am still questioning ironman right now, trying to figure how I can still get into IMLP which will then alter my whole season, so its really hard. So many people have put out there what there goals are, there races and I am so envious. I certainly have some thoughts but everything is still up in the air. What really sucks is that with triathlon and some road races you have to sign up early to guarantee a spot and that is where the dilemma is. Anyway, some of my thoughts for this up and coming season are ( but could and probably will change since I haven't even discussed these with my hubby are:)

December- try to find a 5k or 10k to get some numbers for training

January 24th- Derry 16 miler

Feb 7th, 2010- Cape Elizabeth 10 miler or the Great Stew Chase 15k

March 7th, STu's 30K or:

March 21, New Bedford 1/2 marathon

April - wrentham Duathlon

May 3rd Sheriffs Duathlon

Mid May- Sudbury Sprint triathlon or the JCC sprint triathlon

June 6th Mooseman or IMLP training camp

June 19th B2B bike race or Patriot 1/2 ironman or Ashland Olympic triathlon

End of June or beginning of July- sprint tri

July 25th- IMLP?

August 8- Gloucester triathlon-depends on recovery from IM

Sept-Pumpkinman 1/2 ironman if recovered enough

Sept-Duxbury sprint triathlon

October-Duathlons if able

If IMLP doesn't happen I most likely will try to do 70.3 Providence again in July ( much to my shagrin about that damn run course) and keep everything else the same. No real desire to go to Clearwater in Florida if for some chance I were to qualify, only Kona.

So its out there, whether or not this will happen I don't know and certainly will need to discuss with hubby and family. Priorities will always be my family first but I do have to race to get better and so we will go through this list and hopefully most will get done or at least the most important ones will get done. I am not setting any goal times right now but will once I'm in the core of training in the winter, the key now is to have fun, get fitter and build a better base. Gotta love this time of year.
