2012 Race Calendar

I just finished compiling my race calendar for the new year. As I am going to take this year and work on speed and building up my endurance I have a pretty full list mostly consisting of 5 and 10k races. As the year progresses I plan on working up to half marathon, then marathon distance. If I'm feeling well after the summer I may do a 40 mile race mid-September. This list also includes all of the Lynchburg Road Runners club series that I may or may not do all of, but I included it in case I decide to do the whole series which I've said I would like to do at least one year.  At the end of last year Todd and I discussed having a fourth child and what that would mean to our training and racing for the upcoming year, with that in mind we decided that I would get the Mountain Junkies RNUTS and he would run the LUS (which I am nowhere near trained for) so that we wouldn't need worry about babysitters or help with the kids. Unfortunately, there were still several of our races that overlapped but hopefully we will still both be able to do our races. If a race is listed it is assumed I will be racing it unless it specifies Todd.
