Planning Summer Races

It's January. But I'm dreaming of summer and warm weather and being outside. So I'm penciling in race weekends now so that I can be sure to get the right training in and plan the REST of the summer around them.

Here's what I'm looking at. Anyone want to join?

May 5-6, LA CROSSE FITNESS FESTIVAL 
La Crosse WI, cost $60
This is a whole weekend event. I'm hoping to get some of my family members to join me here. Jim's promised to do the 5K. On Saturday, there's a 5K and three bike races (5 miles, 32 miles and 62 miles). On Sunday, there's the half and full marathon and a marathon relay. I'm going to do the half.

May 19, ROCK COUNTY HABITAT FOR HUMANITY WALK/RUN
Janesville WI, Cost TBD
GaryAllanFan is on the board of this first-ever event. There will be a 1 mile, 5K and 10K event. This might be a great event for us to volunteer at? More details to come!

August 18, WISCONSIN DIRTY GIRL
Hartland WI, Cost: $75 
What do you say we all sign up for Wave 23 together? Who's in?
