Women's Distance Festival 5ks

[marathoner452]

(5/20-Baltimore Road Runners)
6/16-Montgomery County Road Runners
6/24-Baltimore Women's Classic
7/8-Howard County Striders
7/14-Annapolis Striders
7/15-Westminster Road Runners
(a couple in August after I leave)

If you do 4 of out of 10 or so Women's Distance Festival 5ks between Mother's Day and the end of the summer, you win some kind of premium.  Every summer my mom and I plan on doing this, and every summer up until now I've been in marathon training either with a long run on the weekend/too tired from marathon training to race/not willing to cough up $25 a week for a race.  This being my last summer in Maryland for awhile, now's my chance.

I'm also working on a list of things I need to do and places I need to see before I leave.  So far my short list is:  go to an Orioles game, go out for a crab cake dinner at a nice restaurant, visit the Woodrow Wilson house in DC, and go back to the Visionary Arts Museum.  The Dreaded Druid Hills 10k should be on there too, if it doesn't conflict with the cruise at the end of June and especially since I'll be gone by the time of the Annapolis 10-Miler and the Baltimore Marathon.

Sounds like a lot of stuff before you leave...when are you leaving MD? When are the Annapolis 10 miler and Baltimore marathon? I should get back to running more often..

The Annapolis 10-Miler is at the end of August and the Baltimore Marathon is in the middle of October. I leave MD in mid-August.

Is it through the BRRC or Active or what? I'm looking for info because that sounds like exactly what I need.
Too bad you will miss the October running festival- I am looking forward to it.

It's through the RRCA, I think. There's not much info. on their website-I had to check the club websites to find out when the races are.

Dreaded Druid Hills is June 30th, the day I get back from the cruise. So I won't be able to run that one. :-( I've run Baltimore twice though-half marathon in 2004, full marathon in 2005. I heard that they're able to include Lake Montebello this year-should help with the hills in the second half.

You aren't going to enjoy running down here in NOLA from Apr-Oct. Or maybe you will, since running = masochism. ;)

What O's game sre you going to see? Flip off the other team for me!

I gutted houses in July in a Tyvek suit. Bring it on, New Orleans summers! (You're right, running=masochism.)

Good luck with all that! Expecially the cruise...oh I miss the open sea, only thing about the Navy that I do miss... Hey, I have a new LJ account, I figured it was time to change it, and I am not all that sure I want to go and add everyone on my friends list to this one, but I did want to see if you would add this one to it :D
