Spring running!!

Is it really spring? No, but it sure does feel that way here in Austin!! I am getting the spring bug...that means more training and planning for races. I just ran my favorite annual race- 3M half Marathon in Austin. Normally, (5 years in a row, except this year) I am getting ready to run the Austin Marathon. Not this year! Why...well a few reasons:

1: Ran NY in November
2: Want to do something different, like a 1/2 Iron
3: Just couldn't get motivated!!

So, I am running a few different races this spring and trying to talk myself into training for a 1/2 Iron this summer.

On of the races is the Zooma women's half marathon. I think it looks like a terrific race in Bastrop at the Hyatt Lost Pines. It is beautiful out there! Also, ARC (Austin Runners Club) is doing a sprint running series that starts with the Daisy 5K on February 28th. They are 5K and 10K's that motivate you to keep up your running this spring. One last race to think about, Moe's Better Half this race is getting more popular and has a great reputation. It is by the outlet mall in San Marcos, TX. I have never run it, but have heard good things.

I hope you check out some of these races!!
