Re: Race Calendar


The official race calendar (what I'm actually signed up for):

July 4: Peachtree Road Race; Atlanta GA - looking for my best time yet on the course, I'm feeling a little sick today though
October 7: Chicago Marathon; Chicago IL

Events of interest (stuff that there is reason to believe I may do):

July 7: A special kind of mile; somewhere in AL - I'm kind of being forced into this against my will.
July 17/18: PTC Summer Track Championships; PTC GA
I will probably go on a trip somewhere in July so wherever I go, I will make every effort to enter an event there.

I feel like I've been in 5K PR shape for much of March/April/May/June but due to course distance inaccuracies/weather/lack of competition/tough courses I haven't run an official PR. If I could maintain my current form into August and am near the Atlanta area hopefully at least 1 of these 2 on the 2 fastest legitimate courses I'm aware of will do it:
August 18: Vinings Downhill 5K; Vinings GA
August 25: 5K for Hope; Decatur GA


Gazing into the crystal ball:

I am inclined to make Chicago my last marathon for awhile. If I get money I'm leaning towards signing up for the Disney Half. As an alternative to stopping after Chicago, the thought has occurred to me to take revenge on Boston before taking a break. I wish I had a better qualifying time though. Either way, I probably won't quit on a bad one.

As far as local races, I still have no definition of what local will be after July 31. I will be moving on or before that date regardless of how things play out over the next month. The move distance could be anywhere from a few miles to hundreds of miles though. I have a meeting Thursday morning which may be insightful concerning my future.

Re: Race Calendar


You're too bloody cryptic Jason. Does sound like you need to get out of grad school though. Best of luck in whatever you decide to do.

Re: Race Calendar


Thanks! Unfortunately my posts lately (as opposed to earlier in the year) are so cryptic because I really have no idea what's going to happen. Also, unfortunately I really don't have any decisions to make at this point. I'm pretty much just waiting for other people to make a decision on hiring me (including Auburn which has not yet given me any options to finish my research). The meeting Thursday is with some important Auburn people so I'm hopeful that I will know something coming out of that. I suppose I could make up my own mind on signing up for races, but since I will be moving and may not be making money that is a bit of a risk.

It would be nice to see any Atlanta people in town or visiting for the 4th but I'm not really sure when I'll actually be in the city other than in Piedmont park for a little while after Peachtree waiting for someone in wave F to finish.

Re: Race Calendar


14 July: Big Dog Heat Wave 5 Miler, Columbus GA

18 July*: PTC Summer Track Championships - Day 2 Only and If I make it back in time it will probably be for the 3200 only

19 July - 24 July - some time off, I've had too many weeks of crazy training and feel like I'm post peak at this point

4 August*: Atlanta's Finest 5K, Atlanta GA

18 August: Vinings Downhill 5K, Vinings GA - PR Attempt #1

25 August: 5K for Hope, Decatur GA - PR Attempt #2

9 September: Atlanta Ekiden!!!, Atlanta GA -6 teams this year?

September: 1 More race TBD

7 October: Chicago Marathon, Chicago IL

*Maybe

I'm only signed up for the first 1 and the last 1 so this is subject to change. I will definitely be in either Auburn or Atlanta at this point so that is set but I'm still waiting on someone else's race schedule and for a couple of race calendars to be finalized.

Re: Race Calendar

3-Feb: Super Sunday 4M, Morristown, NJ
9-Feb: ATC Hearts & Soles 5K, Atlanta, GA
9-Mar: St. Paddy's Day 5K, Morristown, NJ

1-Aug: Howard Bell Memorial 5K, Mt. Tabor, NJ
2-Sep: Verona Labor Day 5K, Verona, NJ
Fall: TBD Marathon (tentative Portland, ME)

I haven't verified all the dates above yet (compuscore.com hasn't completed their 2013 calendar). And I'm taking the same approach of picking my races to find the ones that have cash or good prizes.

Also of note, I will be in Atlanta Feb 8-10 and Apr 5-7. Hearts & Soles is that February weekend, so I'm running that, but Allie and I haven't found anything for the April weekend yet (unfortunately Pi Mile is the week after).

****
Update Apr 6. as Tentative at Knockout Cancer 5K in Marietta, GA
And Apr 28, St. Luke's Half Marathon, Allentown, PA
