My Bucket List Race


Nope it’s not a Half Marathon.

It’s a 10-miler.  Rolling hills from Lake George Village to Bolton Landing. And it is THIS WEEKEND!!!!!!

I always wanted to do this race but:

  • June 2008, 2009, 2010 – 3.1 miles was the longest I was running back then
  • June 2011 – strained achilles
  • June 2012 – recovering from broken ankle
  • June 2013 – broken foot (and this year I actually registered for the race 😦 )

Here are some views of the course (route 9N) from previous summer runs:

yes, rolling hills – steeper the first half but not easy the 2nd half (I know)

When I am done with the race, I am next door to my boat. Perfect, right?

  1. If that’s the race you want, I would sign up the minute registration opens!

    I have a lot of races that sound fun, but I don’t know that I have an actual bucket list race at the moment. I think as I get more immersed in racing, I’ll figure that out.

  2. Man that stinks that you can’t run this. I am biking – hopefully 100 miles tomorrow – so a very different goal for me. I have a lot of bucket list races. I want to do one in Central Park as you know but also Mount Desert Island -but not the marathon.
