This year has been interesting as at this time of year I would have my racing scheduled for 2021. As many runners have been through a challenge time this year many are skeptical about racing returning next year and sacred of potentially losing money if COVID is not under control and or a vaccine is not available for everyone. It's a hard balance as I love to sign up for races but also as a new home owner I have other items that I should priorities.
2020 isn't over and after completing two virtual races this last week I currently have a lot more virtual races left...why did I do this to myself haha. Currently below are the remaining virtual race I have. Most of them I can incorporate into my training, but the half marathons will be a challenge. I'm exciting to run my first half marathon post surgery with the Route 66 Half Marathon, I know this will be very challenging but I'm okay with walking it if needed. I've made tremendous progress and want to make sure I don't mess that up. I'm excited to be getting my race packet soon in the mail along with other virtual races I receive.
- Route 66 5K and Half Marathon
- Turkey Tracks 5K
Looking ahead to 2021 I am currently signed up for two races, both were postponed to COVID 19. One I did technically defer but then COVID hit and the race was cancelled. In March I am scheduled to run the Best Damn Race NOLA half marathon and then in October I am signed up for the Hot Chocolate OKC 15K. Will I sign up for more races? Probably but will wait til the last minute to make sure it is in person. I would definitely like to run another marathon but I know recovering will be a challenge. I guess time will tell. What is on your race schedule? Drop a comment on my IG post.
