I think I am going a bit crazy –

I have taken a lot off my running this year.  I am not running nearly as many miles or races.  I am shying away from the smaller races (5K/10K) and pretty much just running 15K+.  I will do the smaller races when they are club runs or if I really want to run a specific race, but I am no longer paying $20-$30 for training runs.

That being said, I cannot believe how many races I have tentatively scheduled for in 2013.  Here it is:

·        January 12^th & 13^th – Goofy – paid*

·        February 3^rd – Texas half*

·        February 17^th – Austin Marathon or half

·        March 24^th – RNR – Dallas – paid

·        April – Big D

·        April – Oklahoma City half marathon*

·        July – RNR Chicago

·        August – Hottest Half*

·        October – Tyler Rose*

·        October – RNR STL

* races I have not previously ran

The 4 that are in purple are part of the 4 Seasons challenge, so they are only $45 a half.  Amy, Nicole, and I are thinking about getting the Grand Slam – so 4 RNR – halfs.  Dallas and STL I always run, and a trip to Chicago is always in the books for summer, and it is around Kyla’s birthday this year.  No idea about the 4^th.  Then there is the Livestrong Marathon in Austin in February.  I have always wanted to run that one, and I figure I will be in great shape from Goofy, that I might do the full (or maybe just the half).  The Oklahoma City one is another that has always interested me.  The Livestrong and Oklahoma are definitely TENTATIVE.  We’ll see how I feel this summer.
