Before The Race
2nd Place Medal
I ran Fleet Feets Rudolph Ramble 8k in 35:38 and placed 2nd in my age group. I was surprised to find this medal in my mail box the other night. The package I received didn’t have a note so I went on the website and it says the top 3 from each age group would receive a medal. Sweet!
I have been thinking a lot about my goals and the races I want to run in 2012. I have signed up for a few (races are so expensive!) and still need to make a few more decisions. I CAN’T believe marathon training starts next week! I’m excited, but also really scared to train during the winter.
2012 Race Schedule:
F^3 Lake Half Marathon – Chicago, IL – January 28th, 2012
Warm Your Heart – Chicago, IL – February 26th, 2012
March Madness Half Marathon – Cary, IL – March 18th, 2012
Carmel Marathon – Carmel, IN – April 21st, 2012

Twin Cities Marathon – Minneapolis, MN – October 7th, 2012
About Sara
Hi Honey! You’re so cute!!! That looks like a great schedule. I wish I was organized enough to plan that far ahead. 🙂 My best friend’s parents live in Carmel. It made me think I might need to sign up for that race! I’ve never done a full before, though, and I’m nervous! :/ I think I want to run one before I do NYC, though, just to have one under my belt.
Melissa, most of my friends are running the half! Please do the half so we can meet up!!
Just signed up for the full!!! It’s my first . . . yikes! But I’m excited! I totally want to meet up! 🙂

You have a cool selection of races lined up and are brave to run the F^3 in January. I’m hoping our winter stays this way, but I know the snow and Ice are not far away.
I think I’m going to sign up for the warm your heart too. It looks interesting to run indoors. I’ll brave the cold and run with you sometime on the lakefront as long as there isn’t any Ice 🙂
Cheers for an awesome 2011, and to an even better 2012!

Charlyn, you should definitely sign up for the warm your heart race! I’m looking for someone to run with in Chicago. When are you available?
Congrats on the medal!! Looks like you have a lot of fun races for 2012. Good luck on al of them!! I’m planning to do 13.1 Chicago as well.

Wow – congrats on your 2nd place finish, Sara!
And it looks like you have another race coming up tomorrow – Good luck, and we’ll miss you at the Yoga meetup!
