2013 race schedule... so far!

I had a great time running in the Women's Half Marathon last November with some of my favorite running buddies... but I'm SO ready to get back into multi-sport racing!  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE running, but I feel like I've been "just" running my whole life and I really enjoy mixing it up a bit.  Plus cross training keeps the injuries away!

I'm totally missing this...

and this

and this!

So I've tried to sit down and put together a race calendar for the year... or at least as much of it as I can. It helps me to stay focused with my training... but mostly it gives me lots of fun times to look forward to!

One of my big goals for the year is to do an adventure race: complete with orienteering, mountain biking, paddling, and running.  I think I found a good one for November.  The description on the website says that mandatory and recommended gear includes: "whistle, knife, and long pants for any bushwhack sections."  Perfect!!!
