an amazing likeness
Here's the place to post a quick note about what the races in plan on running in 2014. Share whatever details you have and we will get it added to the 2014 race calendar (coming Dec 2013) for our group. The races don't need to be half marathons and they don't have to be goal races, they just have to be what you'd like to share and report back on.
For example:
Date: Jan 28th
Race: Texas Half:
Event URL: http://www.texashalf.com/
Distance: 13.1 Miles
Location: Dallas, TX, USA
Goal Time: 1:49:59
Don't worry if you don't have or don't want to share a goal. We'd still love to hear about what you are running. If the event has a website please do let us know what the link (URL) is. It's nice to see the details of all the cool races out there!
So let's hear it folks - where is everyone racing in 2014?
