my fall racing plans

August 3, 2022      18 Comments

Can you believe it’s time to look at fall racing plans? Mine are very slowly coming together. It’s certainly a challenge, considering A’s very rigorous marching band schedule, but I’m determined to get back to the start line.

RunJax Labor Day 5K

This is a race I normally run. I haven’t registered yet, but some friends are attending, so I figure, why not? I like to run on holidays, especially holiday Mondays, so this will be a great start to my fall racing schedule.

ZOOMA Amelia Island 12K

Somehow, the weekend of ZOOMA Amelia Island is a bye week and free of any competitions. How lucky am I? I would love to take on the Half Marathon, or one of the challenges, but I think I am going to play this one safe with the 12k. It’s a good and manageable distance, and I’ll be happy to enjoy all the amenities the race and surrounding town have to offer. Also, look at all the swag I’ll be walking away with.

Cottonmouth Quarter Marathon & 5K

In the past, I’ve done the 5K but I may take on the quarter marathon this year. That’s just a little more than a 10K, which is totally manageable, especially on the heels of a 12K. This is a super fun local race, with a great shirt and medal, so why not?

Any Turkey Trot

I am not 100% sure where I’m going to be on Thanksgiving, but wherever it is, I want to Turkey Trot. It’s always fun to get in a 5K before the giant feast, and if there is one available, I’m going to be there, wobbling before the gobbling.

    I’ve never heard of a quarter marathon race, but it definitely sounds like an interesting idea!
    With 10.5k, it’s very close to a 10k, but the label “marathon” definitely gives it a different spin. Have fun with your fall races, Jenn!

    Sounds like a good plan! I haven’t signed up for any fall races. My husband is running a fall marathon so I probably couldn’t do one until after his race is over since Ill need to be on mom duty while he is out doing his long runs.

      Iit’s tough coordinating training when the littles are young. Can’t wait to hear what you do next.

    Looks like a great list of races.

    I have a big list that I’ll post later.

    Having races on my schedule keep me motivated.

    One of these days we’ll have plan one together

      YES! We do need to do that. I would love to start getting out to other bloggers’ states.

    I only have one race for the fall so far–it’s a trail half that I had to defer last year when I broke my ankle and foot. I also am hoping to do the Mammoth Hiking Challenge again this year. We”ll see how that fits into my plans!

    I like the idea of a quarter marathon! Hopefully, you don’t see any cottonmouths on the course!

      I don’t think there will be snakes. It’s in a rural area, but the roads are paved. Mostly.

    I am just starting to plan my fall races. It is daunting with the heat we have right now! Amelia Island is a fab location and the 12K sounds like a fun distance. Can’t wait to hear more

      I’m sure Zooma will be good. I haven’t done it in quite a few years.

      I’m ready for winter.

    These sound fun! I’ve never heard of a quarter marathon being an official race distance- I’m surprised it’s not more popular.
    I work on Labor Day but have a 5K at the end of September. i still have to choose a race for October, and then of course the Turkey Trot! We have one very close to where we live so we always do that one.
    Glad you’re thinking about races again.

    Those all sound like fun races. I love the Zooma swag. They always do it right! I haven’t made any plans for fall! What with my plantar fasciitis and now my recovery from my Mohs surgery my running has been very spotty. Hopefully I can find a local 5k or a trail race to add to the schedule.

    You got a lot of great races coming up! Happy training!

    Sorry for accidentally linking up to this instead of The Ultimate Coffee Date. It was quite the morning waking up to our internet being out and discovering that the loud boom we heard just after midnight was lightning hitting our deck. 🙁

So good to stretch the legs today. I was super sore after a @runsmartofficial cross training session last night, and needed to just get out there and let the fresh air work its magic.

What are you up to today? I really need to take a moment with my calendar and get some plans locked into place.

I got to sleep in AND take advantage of some cooler temps. It really didn’t warm up until my last mile and that was just fine.

I feel like this month and next are really just flying by. So much is going on, and I want so badly to enjoy it all, including the crisp, sunny days where we find them!

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you all, but y Happy Monday!

I don’t know about you all, but your girl is TIRED. It is so hard to roll out of bed some mornings. Ugh. 

I managed (finally) and banked six miles in some gross humidity. And now it’s time for some self care and then back to work.

Also. We have somehow acquired a pecan tree? Any tips on the growth and care of this would be greatly appreciated!

Sunday fun day! Just a short walk to start the da Sunday fun day!

Just a short walk to start the day and work out some stiffness. Some days, my ankle just doesn’t want to cooperate 🫤

I have been making graphics and content all day for a client, and now I’m about to do hair and makeup for a little event. Wheee! 

This week is going to be BUSY! There’s a lot of changes to the regular routines (nails, a digital learning day, after school and weekend programming) and I have a race on Saturday and bocce ball on Sunday! 

Who else is ready to dive in?!

We are supposed to see temps in the 90s this weekend and I am 100% not about it!

I won’t be racing this weekend: instead I’ve got some work, some volunteering, and another event on Sunday. Looking forward to all of it!

Are you running long or racing this weekend? Tell me about it!

This Sunday, I hit up the #womenrunjacksonville ev This Sunday, I hit up the #womenrunjacksonville event at the @theglassfactory, presented by @yelpjacksonville and @market.and.mimosas!

Is it possible to be overwhelmed by so much amazing talent, creativity and awesome woman power? 

From the iconic “my phone eats first” tote to the gorgeous party wall lined with craft mimosas, to the silent disco headphones and all the vendors and food/drink samples! Swoon.

I shopped, ate, drank and chatted my way around the venue, and enjoyed every second of it. What a way to celebrate Women’s History Month, and all of the incredible female entrepreneurs, business owners and bosses in Jax and NE Florida!

Five stars. Would do again in a heartbeat!

35 minutes on the elliptical 👿 with a cool down 35 minutes on the elliptical 👿 with a cool down walk in the beautiful sunshine.

I am not a huge fan of gym equipment like the treadmill or the elliptical: I find it boring and often times awkward. That being said, I’m working through a training plan from @runsmartofficial and trusting the process.

Did you get your fitness inside or out today? How do you feel about the elliptical?
