Some Fall Races and Goals

I have been stressing over picking the perfect half for the fall. Since Jen is already running Chicago I couldn't beg her to run something with me. I wanted to do Rock N Roll Vegas but since I am serious about saving money to move I decided it was an unnecessary expense. Although I am considering Nashville for the spring (the country girl in me won't let that one go so easily).

But let's stay in 2013 for now. For the fall I decided to sign up for the Divas Half Marathon. A major factor was that it is so close to home. I have a friend who ran last year and said she had a blast. It does look a bit girly for me with the tiaras and boas but I suppose I can look beyond that. Because in reality it looks like a lot of fun. My friend said the course is flat and lined with entertainment. I also found out a new friend, Bernadette, is running too.

Goals: Under 2:20:00
Time Goal: 2:17:00
Reach Goal: 2:15:00

I'm also setting out to conquer the RUN10FEED10 race again. About 2 weeks before the half I will be running the West Side Highway hopefully on my way to a shiny new 10K PR. But before that I will be hosting a virtual 5K to raise the required amount of money to help provide at least 10 children in my hometown/the US a meal. Look out for announcements in the near future!

Goal: Under 1:00:00
Time Goal: 57:30:00
Reach Goal: 56:00:00

Lastly, given that the Fitness Mind Body and Spirit games will be the same weekend as 2012 (weekend before FEED), I will be running 4 miles through Central Park. I really enjoyed this race last year although I wish the festival lasted longer and the lines didn't get closed. 

Goal: Under 40:00
Time Goal: 38:00
Reach Goal: 36:00

Now, who has some recommendations for races that are not in September? Need to fill the rest of my schedule!
