          Date: Jan 14th

          Race: The Charleston Half Marathon

          Event URL: http://charlestonmarathon.com/

          Distance: 13.1 Miles

          Location: Charleston, SC USA

          Goal Time: 2:15:00  

           

          Will be my first half,  followed by a full marathon in Feb. Smile

           

          Date: Mar 31st

          Race: The Cooper River Bridge Run

          Event URL: http://bridgerun.com/

          Distance: 6.2 Miles

          Location: Charleston, SC USA

          Goal Time: 55:00

           

          Run this every year with friends. Usually I jog it in about an hour, but after actually training this year I think I can actually race it. We have a friendly competition where we run it with our spouses/significant others and combine the couples times. Whichever couple wins (lowest combined time) gets all their drinks and food paid for when we go out afterwards.

            Not much solidly planned on my calendar right now other than these two:

              Date: Jan 01

              Race: Resolution Run

              Distance: 5k

              Location: Regina, SK CANADA

              Goal Time: undecided, haven't run a 5k in a long time

               

              Just a little race, but New Year's morning is a good time to get going on the running year. I've run this in -46*C windchill and in a blizzard so conditions could be anything winter brings.

              Loves the outdoors

                Back for the same again - this time hopefully faster! I've already registered to up my motivation as I've been a bit flat during the last 6 months. Date: Feb 26th Race: Round the Bays Half Marathon Event URL: http://www.wellingtonroundthebays.co.nz/ Distance: 21.1km Location: Wellington, NZ Goal Time: 2:20

                One day I decided I wanted to become a runner, so I did.

                  I enjoyed it so much, I'm going back for seconds! My daughter claims that in the minutes after the last one I gave her permission to whack me upside the head if I ever signed up for another. I have no recollection of this. I already signed up, so I'm watching my upside.

                   

                  Date: Sept 30, 2012

                  Race: Wineglass Half Marathon

                  Event URL: http://www.wineglassmarathon.com/

                  Distance: 13.1 miles

                  Location: Corning, NY

                  Goal Time: 2:19:59


                  Petco Run/Walk/Wag 5k

                    ok, I finally feel ready and able to train for a half again, so I signed up and committed the $. I know I've been amongst the missing most of the year, but its been a bit crazy dealing with emergency delivery of my daughters twins, her side effects, then helping with the boys... we're finally worked things out to where I can get my morning runs in and think about the time on feet I need for a half. I'm also finally corrected what went wrong after last years Decker Challenge and are not having the calf problems I had for much of the year.

                     

                    Date: Jan 29th

                    Race: 3M Half

                    Event URL: http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/HalfMarathon/Home/

                    Distance: 13.1 Miles

                    Location: Austin, TX, USA

                    Goal Time: 2:50:00

                     

                    I may also run a 2pm Resolution run on New Years Day. Haven't cleared it with family members yet

                     

                    Now to get my long runs to 2+ hours and I'll be ready! Good training everyone!

                    2014 goals: keep on running! Is there anything more than that?

                    Complete the last 3 races in the Austin Distance Challenge, Rogue 30k, 3M Half, Austin Full

                    Break the 1000 mi barrier!

                      Here are the races I'm tentatively targeting for early 2012 provided my training goes smoothly:

                       

                      Date: March 17th

                      Race: Rock 'n' Roll Half

                      Event URL: http://runrocknroll.competitor.com/usa/event-details

                      Distance: 13.1 miles

                      Location: Washington, DC, USA

                      Goal Time: 1:44:59 - though my training runs leave me feeling I might be able to go a fair amount faster

                       

                      Date: April 22nd

                      Race: GW Parkway Classic

                      Goal Time: 1:15:00

                      Location: Alexandria, VA, USA

                      Goal Time: 19:51 (my previous PR set during XC season, so unlikely but I'm staying optimistic)

                      I ran. I ran until my muscles burned and my veins pumped battery acid. Then I ran some more.

                       

                       

                      Future Goals: 5:30 mile • 19:30 5k • 33:30 8k • 42:00 10k • 1:15:00 10-mile • 1:40:00 half-marathon • 1000 miles

                        Great to see the early part of the year shaping up for many! Keep 'em coming!

                            I've decided to sign up for some of the events in the RootsRockRun trail series:

                            Event URL: http://www.rootsrockrun.com/

                            Location: Port Gamble, WA, USA

                             

                            Date:   May 6   Forest 5K

                            Date:  July 8   Timber Town 10K

                            Date:  Aug 5    Port Gamble HM

                            Date:  Sept 2  Roots Rock 25K

                             

                            I won't be racing these with a goal time in mind since I have very little experience with trail racing.

                            I really enjoyed the Spooky 12K they put on last October though and expect these will be exhilarating as well.

                            If I was ready for it, they are having a 25K on Feb 12...so soon! Dare I??

                            Don't make excuses for why you can't get it done. 

                            Focus on all the reasons why you must make it happen.

                              Here's 2 on my calendar:
