2013

There's no denying that summer is over and Autumn has settled in to stay. And with that comes the steady tide of early registration for 2013 races. I have a crock-pot stew of emotions every year this time comes around: anticipation for the coming year, anxiety for the quickly passing year, dread over lack of preparation for Iceman . . .

It's time to start filling my calendar with registration reminders while budgeting for the coming year's events.

Speaking of which . . . 

Lumberjack 100 2012

I had a survey on my blog that asked all of my readers (Thanks mom, my mom's card group, and my mom's Farmville friends for reading!) to vote for a 2013 event for me to race. The choices were: Returning to Lumberjack 100, Running Bayshore Marathon and shooting for a sub-4 hour, Racing Ore-to-Shore, or . . . I don't remember the 4th choice. Anyways, the overwhelming response (thanks for voting mom!) was to return to Lumberjack 100.

I have also decided to make another run at the 5/3 River Bank 25k. Which means I will be doing a good chunk of my LJ100 training by means of running. I think its going to be a great experiment.

With that, here are a few of my favorite races and registration dates (note that they are in order of Event Day and not Registration Date). Be sure to sync your iCloud calenders!
