Soooo many races and sooo little money

So  I decided to start a blog since everyone and their mother seems to have one plus I love telling people all about my running even though most of the time they really don't want to hear it :)

This year I'm already signed up for 1 full marathon, 4 half marathons, 2 ten milers, and 5 other races of various distances...and I also have a long list of other races I want to do this year that I haven't signed up for yet because registration hasn't opened or I'm short on funds...racing isn't cheap lol

What is my goal for this blog? Well my goal is to review all the different races I'll be participating in so if anyone where to come across my blog they could be like "Hey, that race sounds fun maybe I'll try it next year...". I love when friends and family ask me about running like if I'm some expert...I'm totally not so please! if I post about my training plans or diets don't think that I am a dietary expert or professional athletic trainer and you should do what I do...sometimes I can be a bit crazy and not do the healthiest things...like eating Nancy's Deli Spiral appetizers everyday for dinner for two weeks because I don't have time to eat between work and CrossFit...yeah I do CrossFit too or at least I try to...I just started at the beginning of the month and it's been a blast! I did it once before for a few months but it got expensive so I had to say goodbye but now I'm back and loving it!

So now I'm running out of stuff to say...I kind of just decided to do my first post today randomly with no preparation...

Over the next month I plan on really getting into a half marathon training plan so I can get an awesome PR at the Nike Women's Half Marathon DC...this will be my second time running it and I'm super excited!!! I have two other half marathons before then but I'm just going to try and get under 2:00:00 for those since I haven't been properly training because of the cold these last few months and I've really been lazy...

My half PR is 1:53:35 and I'm hoping to finish under 1:45:00 at the Nike Women's Half this year....training starts Monday February 3rd :) :)
Ok I'm done...for now...
