Friday Five: 5 Races to 2015

LA marathon 2014

Hi all! Linkup Friday!! Thanks to our amazing hostesses: the DC Trifecta Bloggers (Courtney from Eat Pray Run DC, Mar from Mar on the Run, and Cynthia from You Signed Up For What?!). This week's theme is 5 Races in 2015!

As you know, I am currently shooting for close to 30 races in 2015 so I have a lot on my calendar. I have decided to highlight the races I am looking forward to the most and why!

1. LA Marathon
It is coming up soon and I am looking for redemption. After my results from last year with it being insanley hot (80 at the finish line by the beach, NO THANK YOU) and them running out of Gatorade at mile 2 and only getting about 4 cups of gatorade the whole time, I am ready to redeem myself.

2. Sunset Strip Half
My boyfriend convinced ME to sign up for this-how crazy is that? It looks like it is going to be really hilly (I know the area and part of the course goes up into the Hollywood Hills). I am looking forward to this so I can get better at hills and get over my fear of them. I doubt I will PR and that is okay-it is more about the experience.

3. Dumbo Double Dare-mainly the Disneyland Half
My brother is flying out from Texas for his first half marathon and my boyfriend is in after missing the great fun of the Star Wars 10k and half. I have a few other friends running so it will be a big grand party. and not to mention, it is the 10th anniversary of the race and the 5th anniversary of my first race!!

4. Fall marathon (city TBD).
I have applied to the NYC marathon and we will see what happens. I am looking forward to my first Fall marathon and my first major race in another city. I do not plan on going for time but I plan on training and running hard.

5. Wine and Dine Half marathon
This is on the top of my list. After being very injured by the 2014 race and the pouring rain, I want a real wine and dine experience. I have a few friends in it to run with me so I am looking forward to a fun race especially if it ends up being the week after the NYCM.

What are some of the races you are planning on running this year?

Next year will be incredible: Olympic trials on Saturday and the official race on Sunday, which is Valentine's Day!

ah, I missed my Wine and Dine experience and forgot to defer it until it was too late. Would still like to do it at some point but have so many other races that I want to do!!

I think I'm going to pull the trigger on the Sunset Strip Half as well... It looks like so much fun!
