Still Retired...Sort Of...

It has only been a month since my last race and although I haven't done any running since the RNR Las Vegas Half, I have thought about 2011 and this year's must-do events.  So here it is...Joyce's 2011 Race Calendar!

- Bay to Breakers: (May) The only event I've actually signed up for, and probably the funnest race I'll be doing this year!  Costume ideas, anyone?
- Nike Women's Half Marathon:  (October) Two words:  Tiffany medal.  Another two words:  hot firemen.  Done deal.

The end.  One thing I learned from 2010 is that I need more time between races, so ideally, I will only do one event per quarter.

If I find that I need to do more events, I would also consider:

- Surf City: (February) The surfboard medal is fantastic and all participants (even the one-mile charity runners) will receive one!
- Run Chicago Half Marathon:  (April) If this race goes down, it'll be a busy day...Red Wings-Blackhawks game is that afternoon.
- Disneyland Half Marathon:  (September) I did this race last year and loved it!!  But getting the castle medal is still on my list of things to do, so I might have to sign up for this one.
- Big Sur Half Marathon:  (November) Competitor Magazine listed this race as the most scenic, and based on pictures I've seen, I'm sure it is absolutely breathtaking.

What races do you have lined up this year?  Share please!
