I just returned from a quick trip (3 day) to Williamsburg/Virginia Beach. While I was there, I had some time to reflect on my running for the year (will detail that one once the year is over). More importantly, my thoughts turned to how I want to start off 2009 and what race should be the first. I have not made any plans as training goals or anything of that nature. I figure I have a few more weeks.
Being at the beach made me think I should try the Shamrock 8k or 1/2 Marathon at Va Beach. I know I can do the 8k with no problem, but do I really want to start the year with a 1/2? Or, did I want to start the year with the Monument Avenue 1ok in Richmond? I have never traveled to do a race but would gladly make a trip to the beach. I LOVE THE BEACH!!! Even when it is cold. Or if I do the Richmond race, I could catch up with some friends and family that are in the area.
As of right now, my local running shop has not posted much of what is upcoming for the next year. If things work much like last year, the races that interest me here do not get moving until around April.
If I do not post anything before the end of the year, have a Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year!!!!
