Topic: 2011 Racing

Question: What race are you most excited for in 2011?  Any destination races?  Are you trying out a new distance.  Tell us what it is in general you are looking forward to when it comes to 2011 racing.

This is an easy one for me.  I am most excited about the Naples Daily New Half Marathon (on 1/16/11) It was my FIRST half marathon so it was a new distance. It was in Florida and it was my FIRST destination race.

I am looking forward to trying new distances this year.  I have only raced 5ks (plus one 3.5 mi race).  I want to run a 4 mi, a 5 mi, a 10k, maybe a 15k, maybe a 10 mi and even 2 more Half Marathons!!! (I’d love to do another Half in Florida – Daytona Beach)

Of course, I hope to stay uninjured and run lots of races.  Even get a 5k PR.
