Last year, I had a list of goals that included all kinds of races at lots of different distances. Then on January 2, I found out I was pregnant. I scratched out all those races, and wrote instead, "Have a healthy baby." It was a good thing I adjusted my mindset, because not a month and a half later I was told I couldn't run anymore until the baby was born. It was causing complications to my pregnancy. But now Margot is here, and I've been cleared for exercise (except for Ab work, and that will happen at six months).
So I've registered for a couple of races. So far, here's what I've got:
1. The Olympia Half Marathon on May 16th.
2. The Portland Marathon on October 10. (10/10/10)
If you're interested in running in the lovely Pacific Northwest, I'd love to have some company on these races! I'm thinking of throwing the Bolder Boulder in there over the Memorial Day weekend. Anyone up for racing in Colorado?
There is one thing I love about having friends all over the country: I've got racing buddies almost everywhere.
Here's to a great 2010 full of lots of sweat, fast races, and good times.

Great goals Liz! I won't say that I'll join you, because I'm not really into running, but I will be with you in spirit three days a week on the elliptical. One of my goals for 2010 is reading at least one biography a month...on important people mind you. Best wishes on the races! God speed.
Hey Liz, my sister lives in Portland and is a runner too, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if she runs that same marathon 10/10/10. I have bad knees to, plus I have the exercise induced asthma which is a real bummer, people who run inspire me, because I just can't. Good job on making such great goals for your future!
