2009 Races

[yellow]

Care to come running with me in May in Portland, Yellow?

You know, I just might do that. I looked at the 50k course and like that the elev gain is pretty minimal for a 50k! Plus Forest Park is beautiful and would be a great place to spend 6+ hours running around. We have many friends in Portland (we lived there back in the early 90s) and it would be a good excuse to go visit and hang out where there's some humidity for a while.

I'm in awe of you long distance gals.

I want to finish this year's Daytona 5K at least a minute quicker than my last year's time.

I'd like to do a 10K this year but don't have my eye on anything particular yet.

Baby goals...

Well that would be fun! I'll let you know if I'll sign up. (To be decided March 10th.)

I'm doing:
-St. Patricks 5k
-another 5k that I ran last year to see if my time improved on the same course
-Hopefully Marine Corps 10k. I was supposed to do it this year but my injury led to $50 wasted.

The big ones are a half marathon in California (Bay Area) in May, the Seattle Rock & Roll Marathon in June, and the Portland Marathon in October.

I think I'll probably do a few fun 5K and 10K races along the way. 10K is my demon distance -- it's too long to be short and too short to be comfy.

Am toying with the idea of a 50K in '10. I'll see how the two marathons in a year go

YES.
Thats why I'm trying to make myself do it, but I'm dreading it. I know for a fact I will go out fast (well, my kind of fast) thinking "Oh, 6 miles, thats nothing" and then 4 miles in I'll be toast.
