Definitely a sign of another year beginning... another running season!
effendi and I just signed up for the Distance Challenge again this year. We're both signed up for the half track right now.
Today is the last day for early registration, so what a good time to sign up!
Last year, I had very little motivation to train for the races or even run them. I did run all of the last 10K race, and a little to a reasonable amount of all the other races. But nothing like running the entire race, much less racing it. I still don't feel like racing, but I think I will show up better dressed (instead of in baggy jeans for the IBM 10K) and may take it more seriously (than scoping out the tossed aside jackets in the first mile to find something WARMER! like in the 3M Half Marathon).
Maybe I should kick this off with a trip to Hill Country Running Company for a new pair of now famous by Wendy Davis Mizunos!
