2010 Begins

While I'm a solid month into 2010, I thought I'd return to the blog and keep active. I have a very ambitious race schedule this year and I have to admit that I am seriously excited!

My first marathon of the season is set for April. The plan is the Country Music Marathon in Nashville, TN, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to afford it at this point. After the series of unfortunate events this autumn that prevented my racing in Denver, I am a little hesitant to make the full financial commitment. I'm going to start looking into local alternatives. I still plan to run San Diego again in June. Additionally, I'm going to put in a bid for the NYC Marathon with the Marine Corp Marathon as my back-up if I don't make the drawing.

Below is my schedule for the year as it stands now:

February 7th: Super Sunday 10k, Boston Seaport
