Quite a few people have asked me what's next on my race plate. This is the time of year when race are slowing down. So no definite race plans. I am thinking of a couple of races though.
I always enjoy the annual Turkey Trot 8K on Thanksgiving. It's a good way to start the day, and I feel like I earn my big meal with that run.
I am also looking at running the Naples Half Marathon. No...not Naples, Italy. Naples, Florida. I thought it would be fun to run a race near my family. Marco Island is about 20 miles from Naples, so they could come out and cheer me on!
One race I will never do is the Olympics.....good lead in....the U.S. Men's Olympic Marathon Trials are Nov. 3 in New York City. This is going to be one amazing race. After a loop through the Times Sqaure area, the runners do 5 loops around Central Park. Favorites for the trip to Bejing include Brian Sell, Ryan Hall, Alan Culpepper and 2004 Olympic Marathon Silver Medalist Meb Keflezighi. The top three go to Bejing in 2008.
The trials are the day before the NYC Marathon. The women's qualifier will be in April, the day before the Boston Marathon.
Going to try to run today. Need to get back into the swing of things around here running wise.
