The 2012 Season...

I had a free moment so I researched some events in 2012 that I'm looking forward to running in... I don't know if all the events are a go (and not 100% sure on the dates for all), and I'm sure I will find more events as the year progresses, but here is a preliminary look at the season for me (which I probably won't do all of... but one can dream):

5K: Big Bend Dollar Dash - Moses Lake (10/6)

10K: Canal Caper - Ephreta (3/17), Cougar Fun Run - Echo (3/24), Spring Fest Fun Run - Moses Lake (5/26), Run For Your Life - Moses Lake (6/9)

Duathon: Spring Fest - Moses Lake (5/28), Let'er Duo - Pendleton (10/29)

15K: East Oregonian River Run (6/16)

Half Marathon: Tricities Half -Richland (2/26), Over the Dam Run - Grand Coulee (5/12), Catherine Creek Classic - Union (8/4), Highway to Well - Pendleton (8/25)

Marathon: Moses Lake Marathon - Moses Lake (4/14), Wenatchee Marathon - Wenatchee (4/21), Columbia River Marathon - Umatilla (10/20)

Relay: Epic Oregon Relay* - Portland to Eugene (6/15-16), Hood To Coast - Portland to Coast (8/24-25), Hells Canyons Relay - LaGrande to Baker City

*I'm already doubtful I can make the Epic Relay (graduation day at the college), but I put it on the schedule anyway as my team will be competing without me. Go Speedy Turtles!

That makes one 5K, four 10Ks, two duathons, one 15K, four half marathons, three marathons, and three (probably best case two) relays. As about two thirds of the races are longer distances I plan to keep on my marathon training right through April, then decide what to do come April when I finish it.

Want to run with me? Let me know and I can get you the contact information on any of the races (or you can just google the name and it should come up!)
