2011 is the year I become a runner. 2012 will be the year I become a
distance runner. Yesterday I did a year in review, so now it is fitting that I
tell you about my goals for next year. My
New Year’s goal for 2012 is to run five half marathons. I had considered the goal of doing a half
marathon each month, but that might be a bit much for my first year as a
distance runner—maybe in 2013. So, what
half marathons do I have planned for 2012?
I’ll tell you!
2 2) The Movie Madness Half Marathon on April 7. This race looks like so much fun! The volunteers will be dressed as movie
stars. The race starts on a red carpet
with the words “lights, camera, action!”
The course is along the picturesque Susquehanna River.
3) Myrtle Beach Diva Half Marathon on May 20. This will be a family event! My three sisters and I will travel from
Pennsylvania to South Carolina and all run in this race together. We will spend the rest of the week
celebrating on the beach.
4) Disneyland Half Marathon on September 2. I love Disneyland even more than I love
Disney World—and that is saying a lot! My
plan is to do TNT for this one. It’s a
lot of money to raise, but it’s such a good cause. It will be my first trip across the country
alone.
5) The Baltimore Half Marathon on October 5. I have lived, worked and went to school in Maryland
for a large part of my life, plus it’s only an hour away from my house. Knowing the route might give me a slight
advantage.
What a year I have planned!
Besides these half marathons, I have lots of shorter races planned too,
like the Baltimore Women’s Classic. I am
so excited about what 2012 will bring me!
What do you have planned for 2012?
A dream is a wish…

Very ambitious year! I would love to do the Disneyland one too.
ReplyDeleteAwesome goals, Amy! We'll see you at the Princess Half next month and Disneyland Half in September! =)
ReplyDeleteThanks you! I am so excited about it. See you at WDW and DL!
ReplyDeleteAmy, I'll be at the Princess and the Diva too :) And we started "running" around the same time last year… the princess 2011 was my first goal. I agree with your question: when do you feel like a runner? I'm not sure, because I'm still waiting… esp when I run a 12min mile, lol. (and I'm ok with that!)
