I haven't run it since, but it definitely holds a special place in my heart because of that :) This will be the first time since 2013 that I haven't run the Lakefront 10. The date is just way too early. I'm doing F3 in a couple of weeks and have no desire to jump right back into training after that. I want to take most of February off running, not spend it all training for a double digit race!<br /><br />Bethany @ Accidental IntentionsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081872231855122210.post-19881408985379080702016-01-04T11:02:31.474-06:002016-01-04T11:02:31.474-06:00What a fun NYE!!!!

Although, on the positive side, it's nice that you know your work schedule so far in advance. That makes planning a lot easier! Yay for Sarasota the week before! Now that you mention it, I do remember hearing CARA was adding a 5K that day, too. I guess it's part of the push to cater to as wide of an audience as possible and to leverage existing race permits/effort???emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081872231855122210.post-14929293162334224592016-01-01T15:03:28.590-06:002016-01-01T15:03:28.590-06:00I'd love to do CARA again this year (it's ...I'd love to do CARA again this year (it's really one of my favorites) but that March 19 date doesn't work for me. I'm scheduled to work that day plus I'll just have run Sarasota the week before. Grrrr. Did you see they're also holding a 5k that day? That makes me a little unhappy too. I kind of liked having this one just for us distance runners. Selfish. I know.Wendy at Taking the Long Way Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934786207724059919noreply@blogger.com
