Happy Friday! I started the day off with a really fun run with my BGR running group. I paced a couple of the ladies and we finished with fartleks. So fun! Today’s Five for Friday is all about the races filling out my calendar for the rest of the year. Be sure to link up your Friday posts and have a great weekend!
1. Clarendon Day 5k + 10k. This race is awesome because they’ve set it up so you can run both the 5k and the 10k. Holla!!
2. Mind Your Health 5k. I’m not generally a fan of 5ks but this is a great cause and should be a very fun race!
3. Durham Bull City 1/2 Marathon. This is my BFFs first half marathon and I’m using it to help figure out my pacing for…
4. Richmond Marathon! My first full marathon!!! Eeek. I’m so excited/scared/anxious about this race!
5. Fairfax 4 Miler. This is an evening run on NYE. What better way to take out 2013 but with a run?? I’d actually love to find a race on Jan 1st as well. It’d be great to punctuate my new year with runs!
What races are on your list for the rest of 2013? Let me know if we’ll be running anything together! Have a great weekend and don’t forget to link up your Friday posts!
Oh I didn’t know about he Clarendon 5K and 10K… I need to do a long 9-10 miles that day… hmmm.
me too! do it!!!! 🙂
I can’t wait for the Clarendon Day Double – will be interesting to do 2 races in one morning!! So exciting about your first marathon – I’ve only heard good things about Richmond!
Not sure if it’s on tap again for next year, but I’m pretty sure DC Road Runners did a Resolution Run 5k around noon on Jan 1 this year starting in Rosslyn. Their races are also super cheap or free if you’re a member usually.
Fantastic! Thank you for the heads up, Colleen! Adding it to my race page so I don’t forget to sign up 🙂
Thanks for the link up! So much fun. I love reading everyone’s Friday 5’s.
I have a 5k in Chicago on Sunday. Oops, almost forgot!
LOL – have a great race!
The Women’s Half in St Pete is in November, I’m training for that now and can’t wait! Best of luck with your races!
Thank you – you too! So excited for fall weather and races!
Oooh that double run sounds fun! I’m doing the Pretty Muddy mud run in Richmond that morning so i can’t do it, but will keep that double in mind for next year!
You love your mud runs!!
I just have my 9k (fit one) on 9-21 and the City of Trees half (10-13)
a 9k – that’s interesting! I’ve never ran a 9k before!
