I’ve had a LOT of time on my hands lately and I’ve been a little like a kid in a candy shop. It really was my 2012 plan to not do any halfs so that I could get faster and save money to do fun races in 2013. I blew that plan (and believe God disagreed with my actions – hence I fell and got hurt) when I signed up for 4 halfs this summer/fall (I fell got hurt exactly one week after signing up for the 4 halfs). As of now, I’ve changed from the half to the 5K for both Chicago RnR and Indy Women’s. I’m still up in the air about the other 2 races (9/29 & 10/21), but feel if things with my ankle continue to improve then I hope to be able to do both of them.
Last Wednesday was National Running Day and you got $20 for each RnR race you signed up for . . . so what’s a “broken” runner with all the hope in the world to do???? YEP – SIGN UP!!!!
Here’s what I’ve committed to so far in 2013:
February 24th– New Orleans RnR Half
March 16th (Saturday)– DC RnR Half
March 17th (Sunday) – VA Beach Shamrock Half
May 4th (Saturday) – Indy Mini
May 5th (Sunday) – Flying Pig Half
Summer 2013 – Chicago RnR Half
September 2013 – Indy Women’s Half, Fort 4 Fitness
October 2013 – STL RnR Half
November 2013 – St. Pete Women’s Half
I’d like to find my way to the PNW and to GA in order to meet up with some of my fav bloggers – open to suggestions.
Your race schedule for 2013 looks great - I am jealous of all those RnR races!
ReplyDeleteWholley crap! Look at you planning out 2013!
ReplyDeletePNW Race - Portland RNR or Seattle RNR, there are tons of local smaller races also - what month do you want to hit up the PNW - between Kim and me I am sure we could think of the perfect race.
I will come whatever month you think has the best weather and race. I will leave it to you girls. Rnr races are a good idea as I'm already doing 2 more bling is awesome.
DeleteYou've got a crazy race schedule planned- and I LOVE IT!!! 9 Half marathons?! You go girl! I've only got 2 planned for next year myself haha I may have to start following in your footsteps cause it looks like you're gonna have an awesome 2013!
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome plan! I wish I had more disposable income, heck I wish I had ANY disposable income, so I could sign up for races! I have only done 3 total because I have like 0 money. Sucks. Will definitely have to let us know which race you decide on in the PAC NW since I'm out here too! :)
ReplyDeleteMan, this makes me want to sign up for so many races! Right now I have NOTHING on the schedule for 2013 AT ALL! Glad you are still thinking of adding in GA somewhere - wahoo!
ReplyDeleteI would suggest the Publix Atlanta Half, but that's the day before the VA Beach half. Maybe I could swing a trip to New Orleans for the half in February? That could be fun!
I so think you have missed one off the schedule, the worlds largest fun run with over 80,000 participants - I see you have nothing planned for August yet...
