WHAT DO YOUR RACE PLANS INCLUDE FOR 2011???

Finishing is doing it well ..... I'm stubborn as well, so I found signing up and paying the money always get's me there.

 i am planning on doing at least 2 - 5k for a min goal & a 12 hour relay for life walk for cancer. i am putting my own team in. 

2011 is the year I get my 10K and half in. My 10K I am looking forward to is in Quebec city in May as a combination girls getaway!

The half will be in October a our local Legs for Literacy event. I will do numerous 5k's as well. I will be needing band repositioning surgery at some point in the year; hopefully not around the time I want to do those two races.

My goal is also to do a 5k a month. I don't have them scheduled yet but here in Southern California there is at least one every weekend. I do want to do the Santa Anita 5k in April. I am doing the Santa Monica-Venice Christmas run this weekend. Should be fun and the weather will be great down on the beach-around 70.

Next--

so far the only race in 2011 I'm SURE of is

January 1st - 5 Miler

I will debut as a MARATHONER in 2011, summer.  Haven't picked the event yet.  I will also do 2 Halfs, yet to be named.

The biggest deal will be January 2012, when I'm going GOOFY.

first race of the year, the Goofy challenge... it's in 4 weeks!  ack!

After that, not sure, maybe a 140.6 if i can find the time/money to train, definitely some long riding events and lots of sprints/5k's etc.  I have been focused on the goofy, and will need to choose another big race to shoot for soonish so i don't experience the post event let-down.

 Can't wait to read your race report from the Goofy!!!!
I know you've heard this but DON'T go to hard on the half!!!  That and the snow killed my efforts for the full on Sunday -- course I did PR the half there 

Thanks, I have a feeling that it's going to be hard to hold back on the half. I will be rested off the taper and probably feeling strong, so it's going to be a mental exercise for sure.

What I am sure of, mostly...  I am sure I'l do some tri's in the summer across NY state.

My "new" goal for 2011 is to complete a Marathon.

My plan so far...

5k TBD in Feb/Mar as part of my training program
May 14, - Grand Rapids River Bank 25K;
a couple of 10Ks TBD over the Summer as part of the training program

For both the 25K and Marathon, I am Running to Finish.  Once those goals are achieved, will work on Time.

If anyone is coming to Grand Rapids for either of the above runs, do let me know...
