Races

I'm currently revising this page.  For now, though, here are my 2012 races (including virtual races)!  More than likely, I'll be adding more

2012 

Virginia Is For Lovers 14K - February 11, 2012 - Registered.  Running with the hubs!  :)  Official Time:  1:31:51.  Race re-cap coming soon!

Leap Year Virtual Race - 2.9 Miles - February 29, 2012 - Registered.  Time:  29:57.  Race re-cap HERE.  First time running a race in Saucony Hattoris. 

Rock N Roll USA Half Marathon - March 17, 2012 - Registered.  Running with my Ragnar teammates, doing a mini-reunion at the end!

Scope It Out 5K - March 25, 2012.  Registered.  Running this one with my C25K girls.  Their first race.  This was my first race 3 years ago!

Ukrop's Monument Avenue 10K - March 31, 2012  (a HUGE maybe)

Manassas Runway 10K - May 12, 2012.  Waiting to see if we get a babysitter for this day so that The Hubs and I can run this one.  Registered. 

Moms Run This Town (MRTT) Hot Mama Virtual Half Marathon - July 30, 2012.  Registered.  

The Bug Run 2012 Virtual Half Marathon - August 25, 2012.  Registered.  Free bling to the first 250 who register!  Been debating about going to an actual race on this day since I have 13.1 on the training calendar.  If I'm doing that distance anyway, I want a medal for it!  LOL.  Thanks to Slow is the New Fast's Facebook post, I found this and registered right away.  I hope I'm one of the 250!!  

Mommy Runs Fast Labor Day Virtual 10-Miler - September 2, 2012.  Registered.  I love killing two birds with one stone, so obviously doing this virtual race during my RnR Va Beach Half Marathon Race (below).  A race within a race, within a race.  Hmm...wonder if I can find a 10k and a 5K virtual race to do too....nesting races...lol.  

Rock N Roll Virginia Beach Half Marathon - September 2, 2012.  Registered.  Tune-up race for my full marathon!  The Hubs is running this one too!!!

Maine Half Marathon -  September 30, 2012.  Registered.  Just call me crazy.  Got 13 miles on the marathon training calendar and I have to be out of town that weekend.  Actually excited about this one because of the course!  Looks so pretty!

Heritage Hunt Half Marathon - October 14, 2012.  Will register for this soon.  Not really racing this, this race fell perfectly in my taper training plan for MCM.

Marine Corps Marathon - October 28, 2012 - REGISTERED!!!  :O)  First. Full. Marathon.  Both excited and scared!!!!!  Registered with Team Lung Love to raise money for lung cancer in memory of my mom!

Race for Breath 5K - November 5, 2012. Definitely doing this one.

Surf N Santa 10-Miler - December 3, 2012 - Not sure....



2011

Ukrop's Monument Avenue 10K - April 2, 2011 - REGISTERED!  FINISHED! Official time:  1:20:54.  Not exactly the time I wanted, but I HAD to walk/jog the course due to an injury - PT's orders!  I had a blast soaking it all in - the crowds, the bands, the music....I even high-fived all the kids cheering along the course!  FUN race.  Can't wait to RUN it next year.  Race Recap Part 1, Race Recap Part 2, and Race Recap Part 3.

The Jellybean Virtual Race - 5K - April 22, 2011.  Snuck this one in at the last minute!  My first virtual race hosted by Jess from Run With Jess.  Cold, humid, then it got hot, rainy.  Race Recap HERE.  "Official RunKeeper time:"  35:48.

Manassas Runway 10K - May 7, 2011 - FINISHED!!!  Official Time:  1:10:09.  THE BEST 10K to date due to 2 awesome running buddies!  Race Recap Coming Soon!!  Update 04.24.2011:  REGISTERED!  FINALLY got the courage to register for this one and accepted the fact that I will be at the back of the pack and I'm ok with that.   Thinking about this one since I will be running the Monument Av 10K coming right out of an injury which means I will be lucky if I can go faster than a jog in Richmond.

Susan G. Komen Global Race for the Cure - June 4, 2011 - to support breast cancer research and my friends who are just starting to run!  Update 04.15.2011:  REGISTERED!  A great excuse to wear all pink for a great cause!  Join my friend's team, Breast Foot Forward!


Glow for Hope 10K - July 30, 2011.  REGISTERED!  Saw this race, and I just knew I HAD to do it.  Glow-in-the-dark fun!  My first night race!  What makes this fun is that I have a couple of friends (including my Ragnar teammates) running this race with me!  Can't wait!!!!

Leesburg 20K - August 14, 2011 - thinking about this one -I should do it to be Ragnar ready, but it is so intimidating to me - heat+humidity+hills+12 miles = scary.  I should just suck it up, so I'm procrastinating, waiting for the courage to sign up. lol.  UPDATE:  05.17.2011 - I am not as scared about this race as when I first posted it.  I was all ready to sign up, but sadly realized I can't do it.  Oh well, maybe next year!!


Sunrise Stampede 5K - August 13, 2011.  Fun little race in Topsham, ME.  Plan on doing this one with the hubs! 

Ragnar Relay Washington DC 2011 - September 23-24, 2011 - REGISTERED!  For some reason, I am not as scared signing up for this one knowing full well that I will be sleep-deprived, running through the wee hours of the night/early morning...in the heat and humidity, and there will be hills.  I know.  Weird.

The Dempsey Challenge 10K - October 8, 2011 - planning to do this race with the hubs to support cancer research in memory of my father-in-law.  Ok, must admit that part of the draw for me is meeting/running with Mr. McDreamy - just because.  UPDATE 05.17.2011 - Unfortunately cannot do this race.  :(  One day, Mr. McDreamy, I shall run with you!  LOL!

Marine Corps Marathon 10K - October 30, 2011.  Would love to do this because it's such a huge race, there's a finisher's medal, lol, and I NEEDed an October race that is not too close to Ragnar.  It feels a little crazy having this race just 6 days away from my next one - the Race for Breath 5K. 

Race for Breath 5K - November 5, 2011 - Definitely doing this one.  Annual race the hubs and I do in support of lung cancer research in memory of my mom. Planning to PR on this one.

Richmond Half Marathon - November 12, 2011 - WANT to do this with my sis.  Waiting for her to commit.  My first half!  A little weird about getting a medal with McDonald's logo on it, but I hear it's a great first half race - cool, fast course.  Update 04.02.2011:  REGISTERED!!!  AAAAHHHH!!!!  :O)

Surf n Santa 10 Miler - December 3, 2011 - planning to do this one with the hubs and sis, only because it looks like a lot of fun!
