Race Calendar for 2011
Tuesday, January 11, 2011 at 7:16 PM | Dena Harris Blair asked me what my plans were after Myrtle Beach and I realized I didn't have any. Dena without a plan? What gives?
I immediately sat down and pulled together a tentative race schedule for 2011. Whether I actually compete in all of these races is irrelevant. What matters is that now there's a list and a plan. Whew! That was a close one.
Racing Schedule for 2011
- 2/19 - Myrtle Beach Marathon
- 3/19 - Beer Run, 5 miles
- 4/30 - Owl's Roost Rumble, trail 1/2 marathon
- 5/14 - PTI Runway 5K (would like to try for a PR here)
- 6/11 - Mud Run
- 7/4 - Kernersville 5K
- 9/4 - VA Beach Rock-N-Roll Half Marathon
- 9/24 - Salem Lake 30K (must make up for last year's horrendous run)
- 10/8 - Cannonball Half-Marathon
- 11/19 - North Carolina Full or Half Marathon
The only thing that's missing is a 10K. I've only ever run two 10k's in my life, both in July in full NC heat on a hilly course. I'm desperate to get a good 10K race on the books. My current official 10K pace is the same as my marathon pace, if that tells you anything.
I'm also not quite ready to commit to the full NC marathon in November. I'm eager to redeem myself from the terrible run I had back on '09, but we'll see how I'm feeling closer to the date. If all goes according to plan and I re-qualify for Boston at Myrtle, there's no need to kill myself with training in November.
Famous last words.

Go to CHT with us and run the 10K there.....I THINK its April 16th but look it up or check with C. C, Amy Rhyne, and I are running it. I've run the 1/2 twice and decided to run the 10K bc C said it was a great one.
Yea, Dena! Love the list!
My running coach is doing Myrtle Beach. He attended last year but, as you know, they cancelled due to weather.
I've got a few 5Ks on the list and 10Ks in Richmond and DC (not expecting any great 10K paces due to crowds... and my slow feet).
I keep considering Virginia Beach but September there seems hot to me. Heck, a few times a day January in Durham feels hot to me. LOL Instead, I'm definitely doing the Women's Half in St. Petersburg where I grew up, and KNOW it will be hot in November.
Lookin' good!
Hi Jennifer -- good to hear from you and great to know you're still running! It's addictive, yes? =)
