Just registered for the Denver Winter Distance Series, well the last two races of the series, anyway. Got the Frosty's Frozen Five miler in January and the Snowman Stampede 10 miler in February. Both coincide with finishing out my mandatory rest time and then starting slowly with a new marathon training program. Should work out just fine. I found a loophole in the closed registration for the Colorado Marathon. If you pay a $250 charity registration fee, then you can run it and all of your money goes to non-profit race sponsors. Seriously pondering this option. It's steep, but is also a tiny amount compared to what I was going to spend to go to FL. I'm going to sleep on it.
Either way, nothing beats the feeling of having races on the calendar. One more week!!
Also, check this out: I'm participating in the Run for the Bling of It Challenge for 2011. It's a very cool way to unite the running blogger community and celebrate everyone's wins by showing off race bling. Don't have to ask me twice; I love me some race bling!! Here is the link:
