It’s January 10th and I have yet to sign up for any races. In my dream world, I would put together a string of races that looks something like this:
Race Calendar
January – Rock ‘n’ Roll (5K and Half) (1/17)
February – Fly with the Eagles Half (2/13) – Link
March – St. Patrick’s Day 5 Miler (03/12) | Sperunking (03/19) CANCELLED DUE TO FLOODING |
April – Go! St. Louis (4/10) – Link | River to River Relay (04/16) – Link | Rock ‘n’ Roll Nashville – Link
May – Asics Vine Body and Soul (05/12 & 5/13) – Link | Stroll ‘n’ Run (TBD) | Herrin Fest Triathlon (05/23) – Link | Tri’Rock San Diego (05/22) – Link
June -Fontana2SD – Fontana, CA (06/03) | Rock ‘n’ Roll San Diego Link SAVE $15 with code MOMSLRB Half Ironman (Cour’d’Alene) – Link
July – Rock ‘n’ Roll Chicago (07/15) – Link | New Town Triathlon (07/09) – Link
September – Reach the Beach Link OR Octomax Triathlon (09/17) – Link | Trirock (TBD)
October – Rock ‘n’ Roll St. Louis – (10/16) – Link | Go! Halloween Half (10/23) – Link
November – St. Louis Track Club Half Marathon (11/06) Link | Rock ‘n’ Roll Las Vegas (11/10)
In the midst of all those would be a smattering of 5K’s (Run for sight). I would also love to get across the pond for a race but that might have to wait another year. In the mean time, the only things standing in my way of this amazing race schedule would be money for travel (darn kids and their need for education), coaching, some childcare and maybe a new bike.
Who knows what I’ll actually sign up for. I don’t feel a ton of pressure to race this year. It seems to be enough right now just to run but there’s still a part of me that wants to pack up, lace up and run so, as any parent knows, guess we’ll see what happens.
What races are on your calendar? What races do you wish were on your calendar?
Why oh why do we never overlap with races? Some day…
I am being really picky about my races this year for some reason. No more marathons after LA so that will be good. All I saw on your list was PLEASE COME TO SAN DIEGO!
I’m the same way, I only have a few on my calendar that I’m actually registered for. I think this year is the year of a racing break and running just for the fun of it!

I have Two races on my calendar; my two favorite half marathons, one is flat pavement Indianapolis monumental 11/5 and a trail half, home of one of my 50 milers and last years marathon. However, I am currently training for my first duathalon and as soon as the registration is open I will be signing up!! <— new goal!!
yeah!! You’ll love duathalon!
When do get your log runs in? How many times do you run a week? Do you run alone or with a running group?
I do my long runs on Sunday AM normally. I usually run about 4 times a week. I usually run alone but try to run with a group on Sundays.
