Spring Training

Starting in 2 weeks it is official spring training for several half marathons I am running. I have a big spring line up this year. May is an especially busy month. The local running store, Tri-n-Run (cute name) is hosting a training program for the Indianapolis Mini Marathon. The Indy Mini is May 7, and is my first half marathon this year. I ran it last year, and LOVED it! The program that Tri-n-Run is hosting includes: weekly running schedules, strength training and cross training at Club Newtone, Saturday group runs, personalized shoe fitting, our own post race tent, allat a low cost of $40. I am excited to see their training schedule compared to the one I use. The program starts in 2 weeks, the beginning of February. I am looking forward to making it to some of the group runs, to meet some more local runners.

So here is my Spring Line Up, fall looks just as busy, if not more. I am super excited to see what 2011 brings. I'm hoping it brings a couple new PRs :)

1/22 Bop to the Top~ a 37 flight stair race

4/9 Swamp Stomp~ a 4 mile trail run

5/1 Flying Pig Marathon~ a 4 person relay, my leg is 7.67 miles Road Trip with the Girlz!!

5/7 Indianpolis Mini Marathon~ a 13.1 mile race, including one lap around the Indy 500 track

5/21 Geist Half Marathon~ a 13.1 mile race, ending on the Geist Reservoir

6/11 Tour de Cure~ a century ride, including laps around the Indy 500 Motor Speedway

Personal Goals for the Spring

~ Run a Half Marathon in sub 2. This will most likely be the Indy Mini. It is the flattest course that I am running this year.

~Run my leg of the marathon relay (7.67 miles) in 1:10

~Stick to my training schedule, don't over do or under do

I am looking forward to warmer runs, without 10 layers of running clothes. What are your plans for the spring? Happy running :)
