While it is already the middle of March, I sat down with my pencil and race calendar to map out what races I am planning on attending for the upcoming year. This needs to align with the training plan Jeff Galloway has set up for me for this spring and then what we will plan for the summer months.
One of the races that I didn’t plan on doing but decided to last minute is the Harvard Pilgrim Middletown Half & Legends 4-Miler. The reason why I wasn’t planning on doing it was because I am doing a 23 mile run days prior to the event so I can’t do the half marathon. However, I realized there is a 4-mile run with the event so I can do that as my shake off run.
I also chose to do this run because like the name of it says, there are Legends attending this run, and one of those legends is my trainer, Jeff Galloway. Amby Burfoot and Bill Rodgers will also be attending this event. Once I heard Jeff was going to be there I HAD to register!
I am looking forward to seeing Jeff again, meeting Amby and Bill, and looking forward to this inaugural race!
I love that so many great running legends are going to be there, if I wasn’t doing Cherry Blossom that weekend I would have liked to come up and do that one! I’d love to hear what other races you have on your schedule, I’m working on adding a few to mine for the summer and fall!
Yea I had no idea they were going to be there until I got a tweet from Kim and the Hartford marathon foundation! I am also doing the Branford Road Race (5 miles) on Father’s Day, Heartbreak HIll Half (I still need to register for that one) in June. You should come up for that one! Kim and Gail are doing it too! Are you doing the Providence full on May 4th?
No, I’m not doing Providence, I really wanted to do a spring full but doesn’t look like it’s going to work out, I’m looking to choose a fall one though. I considered the Heartbreak Hill races but I’m planning to go up to Cape Cod the weekends before and after that weekend and it just seems like A LOT of driving to do it 3 weekends in a row – the extra 2 hours from NY vs. CT really makes a difference, I miss living in CT!
