So Many to Choose From!

I picked up my packet for the Thanksgiving Point Half Marathon tomorrow (less than 9 hours to go!) and just now looked through all the handouts of upcoming races. Here are a few more I'm interested in...

• 5 May - Cinco de Mayo 5k Fiesta run/walk - I'm Mexican, I feel I have a duty to do this
  
• 21 May - Live Your Dream Charity 5k
  
• 30 May - Run of Remembrance - you pay for a shirt if you want to, it's free if you don't. they accept donations that all go to afflicted war heroes. I'm definitely doing this one. Read 'Unbroken,' and you'll want to do it to.
  
• 11 June - Utah Valley Half Marathon
  
• 25 June - Lehi Round Up 5k/10k
  
• 30 July - Timpanogos Half Marathon
  
• 10 September - Little Grand Canyon Half Marathon
  
• 8 October - Love Your Body 6k/10k - did this one last year with a friend, women only!
  
• 15 October - Chick-fil-A SoJo Half Marathon

Some of these conflict with others on my previous list, so I'll just have to make a decision about which one to do. I'll tell you this though, as cool as I think the State Capitol Half would be, I'm definitely running the Run of Remembrance instead.

Some races found here. I'll have to look through the website more to find others.

Things I Hope To Do This Summer

• 30 April - Thanksgiving Point Half Marathon
• 7 May - Komen 5k Race for the Cure - a friend asked me to do this one with her
  
• 14 May - Volunteer @ Girls on the Run 5k Fun Run
  
• 21 May - Armed Forces Day Challenge Course - I need a partner for this one, interested?
  
• 30 May - State Capitol Half Marathon
  
• 4 June - National Trails Day Dog Run - if I can talk someone into doing this with me, I may bring both the pups
  
• 2 July - Dirty Girl Run @ Wheeler Farm - mud runs are the best!
  
• 4 July - Freedom Run 5k or 10k (maybe because I'll be mud-running it 2 days before I'll stick to the 5k)
• 16 July - Bryce Canyon Half Marathon
• 29-31 July - Garlic Festival in Gilroy, CA - the garlic capital of the world

I'll most likely be adding (and possibly subtracting) from the list as the summer progresses. Stay tuned for updates (but only if you're interested). (:

Most races found here.

Not Seen on Above List:

• Finish my thesis. I walked in last week's graduation, now I just need to wrap everything up and I'll be done!
• Find a job.
• Hike. A lot.

Thanks For the Reminder Tony

Perfectionism is not an attribute in my opinion so don't beat yourself up when you miss a few workouts or eat some Easter candy. The goal is to have far more good days than bad. Exercise for the joy of feeling good and getting better. Eat right with the intention of fueling your body with the things it needs to perform.

Update:

I did not have to report to jury duty. I got a letter a couple of days before needing to go downtown and was told that the case had been settled.

Whew.
