planning my winter race schedule

January 10, 2023      8 Comments

I’m happy to announce that my winter race schedule is off to a fabulous start. It’s been a while, but I’m back to the goal of running (at least) one race a month, and I’ve got some awesome options ahead.

Resolution Run 5K

The Resolution Run is one of the first 5Ks of the winter race season. It’s a lovely course along the St. Johns River, which makes for a nice view, and great post-race photos. Runners get a custom medal and a long-sleeve t-shirt, both of which are great incentives for getting up early on a Saturday morning.

Jaguars / Novo Nordisk 5K Stadium Challenge

We move to February, and I have my eye on the Jaguars / Novo Nordisk 5K Stadium Challenge. This event has moved from the sweltering heat to (hopefully) cooler temps in February. The bad news? Runners have to navigate the concourse ramps of the stadium. The good news is that runners get a custom medal and long-sleeve techical T, the chance to run on the field while appearing on the Jumbotron, a free beer at the finish (21 and up, please), and a post-race glow party. I think this will be a go.

Gate River Run 15K

I am a little bummed to report that the Gate River Run may be on hold this year. A has a band competition that may take place the same day, so I am holding off on registration until we get the schedule. If I have to take a pass, I’ll just replace it with something else, but I was looking for a bit of a redemption after my injury-riddled attempt last year.

Rapor Run 3K

Regardless of how the Gate shakes out, I’ll be toe-ing the start line of the Raptor Run 3k at the Alligator Farm! This is such a fun event, and even though it’s a 3K, I would hate to miss it. The course is really nice (through a lovely neighborhood), an actual raptor runs the race and takes ton of pics after, and all proceeds go to a great cause.

I am linking up with Kookyrunner and Zenaida this Tuesday for Tuesday Topics!

What are your winter race plans?

    So excited to read about your race plans for this winter! I hope A’s band is on a separate day from the Gate River race as I know all about “redemption” races! I have a few to redeem myself this year! Of course, mine are summer races, but hoping to get at least 3 or 4 done by April. None have been officially announced yet but hoping they are soon so I can firm them up on my calendar.

      It won’t be the end of the world, obviously, but it would be nice to get the Gate AND the concert. I hope you get some firm plans in place soon!

    I love your goal of running one race a month!

    I’ve never seen the 3K distance for a race but that’s pretty cool – I would definitely try it!

      It’s an odd distance, but it’s fun.

    This looks like a lovely plan for the winter, definitely keeps one going! Nice with some shorter races too. Later when I’m more confident I’d love to find something like the 3k or 5k. In the meantime I’ll keep training and I have my February challenge to look forward to.

Drinking in that sunshine for sure! It was a bea Drinking in that sunshine for sure! 

It was a beautiful morning that turned quickly into a beautiful day. Sundays are hard because they are immediately  followed by Mondays, and Mondays are hard.

Lots to catch up on this week! April is chock full of holidays, birthdays, days off, and events, so let’s get to it!

About this morning… I was up and out early to d About this morning…

I was up and out early to drive to Flagler Beach for the #Missionpossible5k.

It was a small, well organized event, with an easy-to-follow course (the last mile was almost exclusively an ocean view), with great shirts and swag.

I was really pleased with my performance, and even more pleased with this beach sunrise. I’ll share more on the #RunnersRundown on Wednesday, so stay tuned!

Where did you run or race this weekend?

Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it. So goo Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it.

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.

Check out those blue skies! I got to sleep in AND Check out those blue skies!

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!

Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and some balance and strength work through @runsmartofficial.

Tomorrow will be cooler and more productive for sure!

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?!
