I finally sat down and went through all of the races happening in MN this year, and compiled a list. Then, with Tom's help, we finalized that list, and I'm happy to share that below is what we're planning to take on! Last year we participated in the Securian Winter 5k in January (my first 5k ever - I finished at 36:35), Irish for a Day 5k (I actually didn't compete becuase I came down with a horribly awful cold), and the Color Run. This year, I wanted to not only increase the number of races, but also try my first 10k - it's one of my New Year's resolutions :)
- March 17th - St. Patrick's Irish Traditions 5k - Como Lake, St. Paul - We will be running this race with Tom's co-workers, and I can't wait to dress up and have some fun!
- April 20th - St. Paul Saints Running of the Pigs - Midway Stadium, St. Paul
- June 16th - Minnesota Vikings Grid Iron Gallop - Lake Nokomis, Minneapolis - I can't express how excited I am for this race. Chad Greenway and his wife are hosting the run, and apprently there will be Vikings players there to sign autographs. Color me thrilled!!
- July 27th - American Red Cross Run for Blood - Lake Calhoun, Minneapolis
- August 24th - Minnesota Zoo Tiger Tracks - Minnesota Zoo, Apple Valley - Again, another race I can't wait to take part in. Half of the course runs THROUGH the zoo - how awesome is that?!
- September 15th - Q. Cumbers Fall Harvest 5k - Centennial Lakes Park, Edina
- October 20th - Dream Mile 10k - Lake Calhoun, Minneapolis
This should be a great year for running. I'm excited, amped up, and ready to go!!
