Click on the race title to visit the event's official webpage or whatever's close if they don't have one. Click on the time for my extraordinarily thought provoking in-depth post race analysis including only the most sought after details (you know things like port-a-potties, bib pins, shirt style, etc) You won't get this stuff on ESPN folks. Racevine reviews posted where applicable.
January: Oooo...snow, ice, temps hovering around 0ish...yeah, I'm not racing in that.
February: (Peeking from behind the blinds)...still snowy. Nope.
March 25th: Rock CF, Grosse Ile MI 5K (and let me tell you, there better not be snow)
April 15th: Big House Big Heart, Ann Arbor MI 10K (woohoo!!! They finally moved this race to the spring instead of the fall. I've always wanted to run it but it always conflicts with my marathon plans. This year baby!!! I'm in!!)
May 28th: Grosse Ile Memorial Day Run, MI 5K ANOTHER race I've wanted to run for a long time but it never fits in. Last year I was sooooooooo close, then I got pregnant and well, it just didn't work out.
June 17th: Ann Arbor Half Marathon, MI Brand new race in MI this year! Wish I was ready for the full for the inaugural but the half will have to do. (I'll just give them some time to work out the kinks)
June 19th: My birthday :-) Feel free to send me warm birthday wishes...or come watch my kids so I can take a nap. Whatever. ;-)
July: Duo at the Ledge, Grand Ledge MI Half Marathon + 5K Mostly, I just want to run this because it's at 6AM. I have no idea why that excites me so since I'm generally not a morning person. It just does. I'll be using this as a training run for the mary (which I say laughing as I know full well I'm entirely incapable of stepping up to a starting line and NOT giving it my best effort. We'll see.)
July 29th: Warrior Dash, New Lothrop MI 5K + some other stuff. Just go click the link. THIS is the race I'm most excited about this year I do believe.
August: Wood Duck Dash kids 1 mile (ok I might get sucked into this one too. One last 5K before we really get down to business.)
September 1st: Marquette Marathon No bears :-)
October: Red October Run 5K or 10 K
Applefest Run (A.K.A. Fall Frolic) 5K or 10K (I can NOT believe they renamed my Applefest Run that. Fall Frolic? It's ridiculous. I'm running out there not "frolicking." Epic fail. It's the Applefest Run forever and always. Period.)
21st: Detroit or Grand Rapids 1/2 Marathon. TBD But they're the same day so it really doesn't matter. The training schedule is pretty much the same.
November 24th: Turkey Trot, Location TBD
December: And now we rest :-)
