As of right now, my 2015 plans are a big, fat question mark. I'm trying to keep some running fitness up, but currently I'm sick and haven't run more than 5 miles since the marathon about 4 weeks ago. I don't know if I want to train for another full next year, focus on halfs again, or work on speed for shorter distances.
I know I have at least a couple longer races on the distant horizon, plus a race I really hope to travel for, but this is looking like a pretty empty calendar so far.
February 15, 2015 - The Donna Breast Cancer (Half) Marathon in Jacksonville, FL (cautiously optimistic I can work this out since so many of my southern friends are running and it falls on the weekend I have a break from school.)
April 19, 2015 - The Gazelle Girl Half Marathon in Grand Rapids, MI. I worked the expo last year for Another Mother Runner and then decided at the expo to run the half. I hadn't run more than 7 miles since December, so the half was a tad rough. I'm hoping to plan a bit farther ahead and actually register and train this year.
May 9, 2015 - 5/3 River Bank Run 25k. This is basically a home-town tradition that I wasn't going to participate in again because it never changes, but they revealed a new medal that is freaking AWESOME, so the bling whore won.
August 2015 - The Fred 200 Mile Relay. Provided I don't have to move kids to college the same weekend, I'll be back as a member of the Screaming Thunderboxes.
So, 4 races I've identified and none I've registered for. Pretty lame if you ask me. Any suggestions of races I should consider?
