Hey, I’m back! Did you miss me? The last half of 2015 was downright crazy–and I moved to Northern California on top of everything else going on! The hard thing about moving is that I haven’t been in the area long enough to get a feel for the running community or find out which races are good. Despite that, I think I’m going along with my various training plans and picking a race that lines up the best with them. In the past I’ve tried to run one race per month to keep myself motivated, but I think having a few bigger races on the schedule will help to alleviate that lack of motivation–not to mention that no race is cheap ’round these parts!
March: St. Patrick’s Day 5K. A local 5K is in order, especially one that will not take place in snowy weather. Did I mention I love it over here?
May: Sonoma Human Race 10K. This lines up with my training plans, is local, and is for a great cause.
July: San Francisco Marathon 5K. I can’t believe this race is local for me! I’m stoked to run along the Bay! This is just to see how I can hold 5K pace–and establish that I have a real 5K pace (#goals).
August: I’m running the Santa Rosa Half Marathon! I’m really excited about this. It’s a run though wine country, which is gorgeous, and there’s a lot of sweet swag. Here’s to hoping I stay healthy this year–or at least through the summer…
September: Disneyland 10K–This has become a tradition for me and my sister, so of course I’m running. Also, we always celebrate our birthdays together during that weekend. What could be a better gift? FYI, registration starts on February 2.
This is what I have so far. I might throw in a few 5Ks to keep the holidays interesting…
What race are you most looking forward to this year? Anyone in Northern California running any of these races?

It’s fun to plan out your races isn’t it? I need to finish up mine.

It sure is fun! I wish I could run them all! 🙂 Good luck with your race plans!
I WISH I lived near or in Northern California- I would LOVE to do a wine themed race like that! Thanks for linking up!
It’s a dream come true for me to live here! If you’re ever in the area and need recommendations, let me know! 🙂
Sounds like you have a lot of fun ones planned! I have 2 halves (Syracuse and Brooklyn) and a marathon (NYC!) on the docket at the moment. I’ll probably pepper in a few more as the year goes on, but I’m really looking forward to those 3!
Those races sound awesome too! I’d love to run NYC. Good luck this year! 🙂
