Remember my goal of running a half marathon every month this year? Well, due to the change in circumstances and a very limited racing budget, I'm not going to be able to make that happen 100%. But, I still would like to organize a 13.1 mile fun run during those months that I cannot participate in an organized event.
I'm thinking that some of these events will take place outside at some of the awesome local trails and some at the Pettit Center in Milwaukee. And, I promise some awesome goody bags again!!
Any of you local (Wisconsin) runners want to run my February half marathon with me (weekend date TBD)? I hope that you can join me for one of my twelve half marathons this year!!
That's an awesome way to get your events in! Hope you have a good turn out.
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea! I wish I lived closer. i am running two halfs in Feb. so I will be with you in spirit!
ReplyDeleteKeep me posted...I might be interested!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea! And, you truly are paying it forward by sharing your love of running with a FREE half. I wish I lived closer and could participate! Maybe I can join you virtually!!
ReplyDeleteOH, how I wish we lived closer. What a great idea! I'm a relatively new follower and just admire you so much! Thanks for your inspiration. Question too? Where do you get your head band thingies? I love that look!!
ReplyDeleteThat is really cool that you are doing this! I wish there were more half marathon's closer to me! I am doing 3 between Feb. and March.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely in on at least SOME of your events! I too am strugling budget-wise, and this just made my day...
ReplyDelete(just want to say that I am so so impressed by how much class you have shown and continue to show throughout these tough times. you rock!)
I'm not close, but I'd be interested in a virtual race to run with you. Might not help, but would still be fun!

ReplyDeleteOK - let's try this again.
ReplyDeleteCount me in - it sounds like fun!
I think joining virtually would be fun!!
ReplyDeleteI'm in. As long as it's not toooooo cold.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I are both runners and so we did the same thing. It was a huge success. You can read about it here: http://christy-goingthedistance.blogspot.com/2010/12/christmas-eve-half-marathon.html
ReplyDeleteSounds so fun, wish I was local!
ReplyDeleteI'm in for some of your halfs! I'll be bringing up the rear, though!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to join you virtually...is that possible?
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!
ReplyDeleteI'm in, I live uber close to the Pettit!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea! I live in MN and would be willing to drive for a race. However, I'm just coming back from an injury, so I wouldn't be able to do one until later in the year.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and have been inspired to start one of my own! Please follow me.
