Today: You gotta let your soul shine.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I haven’t missed a single day of running this year. Mostly because there’s only been a single day this year. I cranked up the music this morning (including my favorite warm-up jam, The Return to Innocence, straight from 1994), and headed for the waterfront.
Despite having slept in, the streets were still deserted, and I had the Harborwalk all to myself. Which meant a lot of singing along to the Allman Brothers, at the top of my lungs. I was thinking how 2011 will be hard to top, running-wise, but I am looking forward to taking on new challenges, including a relay with some of my favorite people. My race plan, so far:
February
March
- Ras na hEireann U.S.A. 5k
- South Boston Boys and Girls Club 5k
April
May
July
October
December
No marathon this year, no traveling for races. I am planning to keep things simple in 2012. Please remind me of this intention when I inevitably go off the reservation and end up registering for who knows what. 🙂

Do you have any fun races or events planned for 2012?

Love that you still do Feed the Need! Maybe I can put that in my race plan and do it with you!

I love this list! I’m doing a bunch of these as well! (I live in Boston too.) I think I may also be running the Memphis marathon this year…. We’ll see…

My goal was to run my first 5K in 2011 and I ended up running three! I’m hoping to run at least five races this year…and hopefully get B to come along with me!

Thanks for sharing your race list. It gave me some good ideas for races. I am Portsmouth, NH so not far from you at all. I really want to do the Reach the Beach relay, I have done a similar one in VT but it was only 100 miles, not 200! I think I am going to do the the Tufts 10k as well. My mom raced it for many years, now I have to pick up where she left off! 🙂 Happy New Year

Reach the beach! Holler!!! 😉 I think with that training I’d have no reason not to do the Run to Remember this year as well! I usually do the Ras na hEireann too!
