Planning my running summer
I've been getting together my summer plans. I know that at some point we'll take a vacation, but other than that I don't have any major plans. So I'm planning which races I'll run this summer.
St. Louis Track Club calendar
Fleet Feet calendar
I'm already planning on running in the River to River relay on April 22. In total I run about 10 miles that day divided up into 3 5K runs over hill and dale. That is my goal race for the beginning of the season. It's probably also one of the only reasons why I'm getting off the couch now.
My goal race for this summer is the Lewis and Clark Half-Marathon on September 17. In past years, I've done the Chicago Marathon as a goal race, but I really like the half-marathon as a distance. One of the nice things about it is that it isn't as grueling a race so you can run it more often. Depending on how I feel, I may run at the Chicago Half-Marathon on October 1. Or the Mattoon Beach Multi-sport half marathon on October 28.
I like running 10K races so when I'm reviewing the upcoming races I'll highlight the 10Ks as a race that I want to run. I'd go so far as to say that if I had a choice between running a 5K next door or having to drive for an hour to do a 10K, I'll be driving. When you divide up a marathon into its relay legs, each ends up being about a 10K, so that's another option. Here are some of the 10K races that I'm looking at:
Spirit of St. Louis Marathon Relay 4/9
St. Charles CC Wellness Festival 10K 4/29
Kingdom House Eat-N-Run 10K 4/30
Run for the Stars 10K 5/20
University City Memorial Day 10K 5/29
Fair St. Louis 10K 7/4
Summer Sizzler 15K/10K 7/22
St. Charles Flat Five 5M 8/6
JCC Labor Day 10K 9/4
Gumbo Flats 10K 10/28
It seems like every other weekend you can find an organization somewhere nearby holding a 5K race. I don't think that I'll focus on any of these, but if they happen to be nearby, I may run them. Here are a couple that I'm looking at:
Thurtene 5K 3/25
Spirit of St. Louis 5K 4/8
Chevy's Cinco de Mayo 5/13
University City Memorial Day 5K 5/29
There are a couple of other races that I think might be fun, but I'm not likely to compete in:
Goomna 6/24 - I really don't think this is going to happen, but it certainly sounds like fun.
Multisport Mayhem Duathlon 5/13
Wolf Creek Sprint Triathlon
Mattoon Beach Triathlon
Momentum challenge Biathlon
Rec-Plex Summer Triathlon
Ballwin Triathlon
St. Louis Track Club calendar
