A few weeks ago, I posted my training schedule, which due to work, weather, and health (a bout with the flu) hasn't really come together as well as I'd hoped. Still, I think 5 miles by the end of March and an at least surviving Sole of the City is still pretty likely.
So what am I training for? I guess that was in the previous post, too, but I'm really lacking inspiration for posts these days, and a race schedule is starting to take shape.
Kelly St. Patricks 5K, Baltimore, 3/16
I'll be honest, I run this one for the after-party at the pub with my friends.
Sole of the City 10K, Baltimore, 5/12
I'll be honest, I run this one for the swag and the chance to make a fun Orioles-oriented weekend out of it.
Color Run,Hershey, 6/1
I'll be honest, I'm running this one because I'm susceptible to even the mildest and most benign peer pressure. I still don't really get the appeal of this. Still, at least I probably won't break my tailbone like last time I went along with the crowd!
Atlantic City Half Marathon, Atlantic City (duh), 10/19
I'll be honest, 'm running this one because I'm a wimp who's had to defer two years in a row. Run, walk, or crawl, I need to do this because I need even more so to be able to do at least the half, and hopefully the full, at Shamrock 2015.
Across the Bay 10K, Annapolis, 11/9
I'll be honest, I'm running this one because it just sounds fun. To the extent that running can be fun, I mean. Of course.
That's all I'm registered for currently, but I'll mix a few more 5Ks in. Even in my crappy Running Year 2013, I ran more races than this!
