An Interesting Idea ...

What if you ran every distance this year?  Started from the bottom and moved to the top.

5K
8K
10K
Half Marathon
Full Marathon

North Carolina's might look like this:
5K - Run for the Roses 2/7/10
8K - HardCore Serious Trail Runner 2/20/10
10K - Oak Island Lighthouse Run 4/17/2010
Half Marathon - San Francisco Half Marathon 7/25/2010 (totally cheating here, but I like to travel)
Half Marathon - Nike Women's Half Marathon 10/17/2010 (because I do every year)
Full Marathon - OBX Marathon 11/14/2010

Seems like it would be a good gear up for the big one - and keep you on track for the year - and keep your legs fresh. 

I'm still trying to pick my races for the year - we'll see if we could squeeze a few in here!

  1. very interesting.

    what i if i already started out my new year's day with a 10k? can i go backward to a 5k? i'm signed up for a 12 miler in feb. with molly...and will probably either do a half in SL or here in april or june. that just leaves a marathon. hmmm...

  2. That does look like a nice, fresh schedule...not too much, not too little. I especially like the marathon at the end of the year!

  3. Can I jump around? And maybe skip the full marathon? Ha! I love it.
