Upcoming race schedule
I always like to have something to look forward to, kinda keeps ya focused and headed in the right direction.
I figured why not itemize the upcoming races I want to participate in during the next 6 or 8 months?
Ok, here's the list with links for any of you who want to sign up and run.
December 3, 2006 California International Marathon
Feb 2, 2007 Kaiser Half Marathon in San Francisco - a fun and fast course!
March 4, 2007 Napa Valley Marathon
April 16, 2007 Boston Marathon oh yea!
May 5th and 6th, 2007 The Relay
June 3, 2007 Family Fun Run
June 29th and 30th 2007 Reno Tahoe Relay
Some might say this might be a tad bit aggressive, I think it's good to have goals! I ran the Tahoe Marathon a couple of weeks ago and felt great afterwards, I figured I already have the base established so why not do Sacramento?
I usually run the Kaiser Half which use to be called the Home Depot Half (I have the old long sleeve shirts to prove it). It has become a semi tradition to run a local race on Super Bowl Sunday right before I stuff my face with more food.
The only wildcard on the list is the Napa Valley marathon. I've already done the course, and the weather can be less than ideal, but it's 6 weeks out from Boston, and it could be a nice training run for me, similar to the Lake Tahoe Marathon.
All of the training though points to Boston. I am definitely going to be attacking the course differently than I did last year even though I PR'd on it. My goal is to get super strong and conditioned, lots of long training runs and tempo runs, with a possibility of two a week track workouts. I am not messing around this time.
Once Boston is under my belt, I am going to relax and have fun with the next couple of races. I've am going to go back to the Relay and get the old gang together again. We missed it last year as the schedule conflicted with Boston. But we have a enough of a delta to do it this year.
I also need to set a new Hillsborough 5k PR, I was robbed of my placing medal last year, so, I'll just step it up and just win my age division. Nothing like a little pressure eh?
And finally, the Reno Tahoe Relay - Burlingame Track Club will be participating in full strength. More on that later.
