I know we are already into the third month of the year, but I’ve pretty much decided on my race schedule for spring. (And a few for winter as well). I will try to remember to update with times and info after each race. I’ll also link to any race reports I typed up.
I am doing the Cactus Flower Trail Series again this year and hope to improve my times even more from last year. My plan is to go out on my Mondays off and get my miles on the same, or similar, trails.
I will probably add a Thanksgiving day Turkey Trot (fun family tradition), and maybe another fun run in December. I love Christmas themed races!
January
5th Resolution Run 5K – small race (maybe 60-70 people), came in 3rd in my age group
6th Resolution Run 5K – hilly course but I was prepared, thought I did really well (for me/the course), and LOVE the medal
19th Rock n Roll 5k – shake out run, took it pretty easy
20th Rock n Roll Half Marathon – Ugh, awful run, you can read the blog about it. I don’t want to think about it anymore. LOL
