Addiction

So I ran a short race a few weeks ago and I loved it. One thing I started to notice was how important it was to be conscious of keeping pace. Run too hard, you burn out before the race is done. Run too slow, you've got a crappy time. In a short race, it isn't terribly important, but when you start tacking on more distance, pace is king. In addition to getting a taste for races, I also want to work on my pacing my runs. With that said, I've put together a schedule that I want to accomplish for 2010.

NY Colon Cancer Challenge - 15k - March 28th
Scotland Run - 10k - April 3rd
Brooklyn Half Marathon (MAYBE) - 13.1mi - May 22nd
NYC Triathlon (Olympic) - July 18th
Northeast Maryland Triathlon (Sprint) - August 15th
Warrior Dash, Windham, NY - September 18th
Merrell Down & Dirty 10k Mud Run, NY - October 3rd
Tough Mudder, Texas - November 13th

With the exception of June, it's an event per month NYC Triathlon is obviously the main event and biggest challenge.
