April 21, 2012 - Sole of the City 10K
"April 21, 2012 will be a day for runners. It will be our city, our streets and, of course at the end of it all, our party! Join us for the inaugural Sole of the City 10K. We’ll run the streets of Baltimore and finish up at the newest Charm City Run location at McHenry Row. This is our 10th anniversary so we have the run covered. The after-run festivities will be sponsored by our good friends at The Greene Turtle. We can’t wait to see you!"
Premium: Black Under Armour Escape Lightweight Quarter Zip.
No course map has been posted yet. But it does finish at McHenry Row (Downtown Baltimore)
Goal: 60 minutes. Coming right out of tax season - I will not have trained for this and just will have been doing 1-2 runs a week throughout the winter just to maintain some sort of endurance from last fall. I will be running this with my husband as well.
June 16, 2012 - Baltimore 10-Miler
"This fifth running will feature the same scenic, challenging, yet fun course the starts and finishes at Druid Hill Lake Park near the Maryland Zoo. The course will travel along the North side of town to Lake Montebello and return to Druid Hill for the post race festivities that are SECOND TO NONE for this size race."
Premium: Born Fit 1/4 Zip Jacket with Pocket in the back
Goal: 1 hour and 35 minutes. A little worried about the heat for this - and I will probably not be as trained as I should be. My husband will not be running this with me - I have never ran a race alone. I don't know what to expect - when I run alone, I tend to let up sooner than I need too.
October 13, 2012 - Baltimore Running Festival (Half)
As much as I hate the almost entire uphill course - this is by far my favorite race from a crowd and excitement statement. See my reviews. Who doesn't love candy being handed out along the course!
Premium: In years past - the shirt has been an Under Armour Catalyst short sleeve shirt. So far I have an orange one and a blue one.
This years shirt is not out yet.
Goal: My goal for this race is Sub 2 hours. This is a lofty goal since my fastest half has been 2:19 but I think I can put more into training this year than last year. Last year I didn't start running until June and had only run about 1-2 times a week throughout my training. It will be hard but it will be something to work towards. If I miss my goal like I did last year - I will probably enter another half just to try again. Last year at Baltimore I missed my 2:30 goal by 1 min and 41 sec - so I ran Annapolis Half and beat it by 11 minutes.
What are you signing up for?
Oh and I did yoga today! Way to go for me for exercising 3 of the last 6 days!
So last night I was totally thinking of making a compilation post like this. I have a race every month through June (if I decide to do the 10 miler). Hubby and I were talking and he is afraid I'm putting too much pressure on myself. As if! lol
ReplyDeleteLet me know which holiday races you end up signing up for. I told him I want to do a turkey trot and a Reindeer Dash this year. =D
