New Year's Resolutions
So, I actually accomplished my 2010 New Year's Resolution. I did one 5k, one 10k and the 1/2 marathon. And it was glorious! So, since I seem to actually be willing to do this stupid running thing I'm going to continue with it into 2011.
My New Year's Resolution for 2011 is to run a race a month, finishing with the St. Jude FULL marathon in December. :D To clarify the races, if nothing else is going on I will do a 5k but if there is a 10k - 15k race going on in Memphis I will do that. (1/2 marathon will be saved till November most likely.) I am taking the rest of this week off from running but I pick back up after I get home from Christmas. My first race of 2011 will be the Run for the Red 5k which is taking place in downtown Memphis on 1/8/11 at 4pm. It benefits the local chapter of the Red Cross in their fire safety classes. February I am planning on doing the Move It Memphis race, but instead of the 5k I am planning on doing the 10k this year (its the last weekend in Feb).
The St. Jude Full Marathon I am planning on running as a Hero (which means I raise additional money for St. Jude). So come May/June when I register, you can expect me to hit you up for a $10 donation (or larger if you want ;) ). I figure I can get 50 friends to donate $10 each and I will have met the $500 minimum to run as a Hero. Cause if I'm gonna do 26.2 miles, you can donate $10, right? :D
That's as far out as I have planned so far. :) What do you think? Am I nuts?
