So I started looking for races near their new house.
they hope to buy this amazing house in Flagler Beach
Guess what I found?

Only 153 runners competed in 2013. With such a small field, I could be running alone. I could finish last.
But I REGISTERED!!! (It was only $40 so if I don’t go, I won’t be losing that much $.)
Happy Running? Anyone else plan this far ahead??
My First 5K and More... 
Good for you! I registered for the Rock and Roll half marathon in Providence about a year ahead when it was cheaper. I usually don’t plan that far ahead though.
