I seriously am thinking about starting to sell healthy snacks in the office to fund my racing fees.
Holy crap they are expensive!
It's my first year racing and I really wanted to earn at least 10 medals this year but it's going to cost a mint!
So far, here's my schedule:
VA - Shamrock 1/2 - 16 March (duh :-))
MI - IT 5K (work) - Sometime in the spring
MI - 5/3rd 25K Riverbank Run - 10 May
MI - Boyne City Independence Day 10K Run - 4 July
MI - Tahqua Trail Run 10K - 23 August
So there is 5, 5 more events to do :-). There is a bike race in August I was thinking of dropping in on as well but I almost feel like that's cheating :-).
It's strange having a 1/2 marathon as my first race ever. I've never competed in anything I ever did, I always just kind of did it for fun. This will certainly prove to be interesting. Lather on the advice if you have any :-)
Molly - I'm seriously laughing at a "frequently asked questions"... I just had to share it with you... http://www.grandrapidsmarathon.com/faq.aspx
8 months away - think my chubby slow moving arse can do 26.2 in that time?
Maybe I should wait and see if I survive VA Beach ;-)!
