2009 Race Plans

Thank you Linn.  Im starting to think that you guys are probably right.  Can you tell Im a newbie!!!

Thats so cool that you did a 10k..... I mean REALLY cool.

You guys are so inspirational.

The Couch-to-5K program will have you running a 5k in 9 weeks. Though it's going to take me more like 12 because I wasn't running 3x a week at first.

So a 5k in Spring is very doable. Don't underestimate yourself!

Hey
Welcome, it's great to see other people from SC posting on this forum.  You will find so much support, information, inspiration and motivation here.  I have already learned so much from posting and lurking here. 

Thank you Vicki for the warm welcome.

Im looking forward to starting my running career!!!!  I hope that I can catch up to you guys geez!!!

I have signed up for a half marathon on may 16, but that is it so far...still looking for runs in my area they seem to be to few and far between. Just have to make my own runs!

I'm surprised South Dakota even has Marathons? ha ha.. I'm teasing..

Great plan, after the first of the year, more people will start advertising for the 5 & 10 K races..

Great job

If Sioux Falls is anything like Missoula, you may just have to check the local parks and rec department or with your local running club to find the races.  That's the way I find out about everything except the tris - that info I get in race packets.

January 1, Resolution 5k
April 19th, Baby Ice Breaker Triathlon (sprint)

June 26th, The 26th Annual TRI for FUN #2 (sprint)

More races will be added as I find them or they become available.  I have a goal of over logging 100 miles run/swim/bike combined in race or organized events this year.  More would be better.

Scott,

I just realized as I'm typing this your probably just getting up, and getting ready for your 5K.

Looks like you have a full plate of races as well. Just make sure you get plenty of rest in between races. Not everyone can be a stud like those people in Louisiana.
