    Haven't signed up for anything yet, but I plan on doing my first half-marathon this spring!

    Also, I'm signed up for my college track team, and we're competing in SCIAC championship..
    so I'm guessing, if I stick with it, I'll do a bunch of races too!

    I'm taking it easy for the first half of the year:

    Redondo Beach Superbowl 10K in early February
    Knotts Coaster Run in early March
    Orange County Half in early May
    Long Beach Half or Full in October
    Long Beach Turkey Trot 10K in November

    Haven't decided on anything else yet, but would like to throw at least one more half in there.

    I am signed up for the 1/2 marathon in the Calgary Scotia Bank Run events. I have no clue if I will be able to do it after having two injuries since I signed up *facepalm*

    I am so out of shape and with how long our winter usually lasts I don't know if I can train in enough time. *BAH!* At least there is my trusty 10K again in August (energizer night race) that I can look forward to participating in again this year.

    I've got a 10k this coming weekend & a half marathon the next
    half marathon in February
    5 miler in March
    half marathon in April
    and a half and a full marathon in June

    I choose not to think about how much that is in race entry fees and hotel rooms (and a plane ticket for next weekend)

    Half in April.
    Half in August.
    Aiming for another full in the late fall of this year. It'll mark 2 years since my last full, so I'm due to run another.
