My 2012 Race Calendar

It's a new year, which means it's a new opportunity to earn some medals!

Just a little over a year ago, I made a (relatively) short list of races I wanted to do in 2011 and am quite proud to say that I actually did some of them. We had:

- Bay to Breakers
- Nike Women's Half Marathon
- Disneyland Half Marathon

I also added the RNR Vegas Half. Not too bad, right?

I never did get around to doing the Run Chicago Half, Surf City (I did cheer, though), or Big Sur, and I'm not convinced that I'll be doing any of those in 2012 either. Maybe next year? Or maybe not...Big Sur is VERY tempting.

What I do know is that I'll be running the Knott's Berry Farm Coaster Run 10K and the Hollywood Half in 2012, which should be a lot of fun. The Coaster Run medal is adorably designed with Snoopy on a roller coaster (this one will look lovely next to my Mickey medal from Disneyland) and the Hollywood Half's Walk of Fame star medal is equally nice.

So, to update my race to-do list:
- Big Sur Half Marathon
- Run Chicago Half
- LA Marathon (I know I said I don't want to do a full again, but I might change my mind in 2013)
- Ironman Hawaii (Half...but I don't know how to swim yet)

I guess that's it for now. I feel very fortunate to have completed all the races I've done. To date, I've done 10 races and by the end of the year, will be at one full, nine half-marathons, one 12K and one 10K. I can honestly say that I didn't plan on running this much, but I'm so glad I started.

See you at the finish line!
