Well, I've fleshed out my schedule as much as I can at this point, which you can see on my blogsite. Most of it is still unfinished as many of the races that I want to do haven't posted any information yet. A few notables: The 8th Annual Race Judicata is on February 26, 2011, which unfortunately is the same day as my daughter's last basketball game. I may only run the 5k this year, so I can make it to her game. Maybe I'll get 2 suckers teammates and we can enter as a team. Hmmm.
I'm currently planning on doing 2 local half-marathons, the Tom King and the Middle Half, that I have not yet run, so those should be fun. They're both allegedly very flat and fast. I'm taking another stab at the Country Music Marathon, and hopefully it won't be the disaster that it was last year. My intent is to use it as a training run for my fall marathon. So I'm looking for a nice, easy FINISH that doesn't leave me completely dead. That leaves my big marathon, which should be the Tupelo Marathon. Registration isn't up yet, but in the past they've had the coolest looking shirts and finisher medals (a skull and crossbones!). Even though it is supposed to have some rolling hills, that will be the marathon that I look for my fast time this year.
The race I'm looking forward to the most is the Warrior Dash. Not only does this race have fun obstacles like barbed wire and fire, but it has lots of adult beverages and a cool buffalo hat! There's even steel viking hats for age group winners. Throw in that it's near my hometown and I'm so there! I considered wearing a kilt in the "traditional style" but I think that my lovely wife would probably frown on that.
Finally I'm also considering the Disney half and full marathon in 2012. It doesn't really count for this year, but I'm keeping this in mind for later as I don't want to finish the year either completely dead or injured. We're planning on making it a family thing with my wife and kids and my brother's family and also watch mekill myself run. I want to run the half (on Saturday) and the full marathon (on Sunday) to get the coveted Goofy Medal. My lovely wife thinks that this would be a bad idea (granted this is not the first time that she's said that I've had a bad idea). But seriously, if I'm going to go all that way to run, shouldn't I go for it? I say, YES!
