Races for the Year

This is the first year I have most of my races planned out. I may still add some more races. At the moment: I signed up for 10. Most I was able to get early bird pricing so that was a plus. A couple races I've done before and I signed up for new ones too. 

I've enjoyed doing the Freep half for the past couple years. I love Kona races: parking is really easy and 6 of my races are Kona ones. Out of all the races I've done, the parking at Kona has been the best. There is a huge lot right off the expressway and have shuttles to and from the race. I'm running the Paczki Run and Kona Chocolate Run again (food is a great motivator). I thinking of bringing Pasha to her second race, it depends on the weather and how much training I can get done with her. She loves running too, mostly to chase squirrels. 

I've never done a spartan race before and still super nervous, I almost didn't sign up for it. I'm focusing on my diet and trying new workouts to prepare for everything. I did long distance running last year, this year I'm going to work on improving my speed. I'm hoping I don't get any major injuries either. I'm doing my first relay this year too: I'm really excited about it. I'm running with some coworkers and friends!!!  

I put links to all the races. If I complete the Cheesecake, Wicked, & Chocolate races I'll get a Triple Crown medal and extra bling if I do both BWW races too. 

Good luck everyone with all their races this year.
