Race Plans

The race plans are taking shape....
  • Oakland half is in 2 weeks, need to go under 1:25 to get a seeded entry for...
  • Bay to Breakers on May 15th.  Need to beat last year's time (49:48) significantly
  • Late May or early June I will do a full marathon with a goal of running under 3:10 which gets me an early Boston registration spot for 2012.  Choices are:
    • Ottawa, San Diego, Minneapolis or Seattle
    • All courses are OK, and a 3:09 should be doable if I run sensibly
  • San Jose Rock'n'Roll Half marathon is October 2nd.  That will be a PR attempt (1:23:47) with a big, big, stretch goal of getting down to 1:20
  • Marathon PR (2:58:13) attempt in Vegas on 12/4.  They switched to an evening (4pm) start which should be fun.  Want to get somewhere near 2:55 for this one.
  • Then it's almost time to start thinking about Boston in April 2012
Of course, this all assumes I stay healthy and continue to get back into shape.
