As I’ve been working to rebuild my mileage base, I have been pouring over race listings trying to figure out my Fall calendar. I was toying briefly with the idea of running a summer race, but unless I get a sudden urge to jump into a 5K at the last minute, I’m going to let that idea go. I think I’m better off continuing to build my base, get stronger, and focus on the Fall.
So here’s what I’m thinking my Fall line-up will look like:
September:
Wicked 10 Miler — Yes! I will finally get a 10-miler in this year! This race is typically just a half marathon, but after the race organization had to cancel the Black Cat 10 miler back in March (thanks to the winter that wouldn’t quit!), they decided to add in the 10 mile distance.
October:
Tufts 10K — This one is still a question mark, because it is held on Columbus Day and the family could have plans that weekend. Luckily this is an easy race to jump into at last minute so I can hold off on registering until I know for sure.
RnR Philly — I have wanted to do this race for a while and I’m very excited that I’ll get to do it as part of the Rock ‘n’ Roll’s Rock ‘n’ Blog team. It will be my first half marathon in more than a year!
November:
Vegas Baby! — I signed on for the RnR Vegas Half as soon as the registration opened. And now to add to the madness fun, I’ve decided to go for the Remix Challenge and make my 3rd Rock ‘n’ Blog race the 5K the night before! It looks like my husband J, my brother and a friend or two may also be in for this little adventure – should be a good time!
Should be a fun fall…and with Wicked a little over 12 weeks a way it’s time to get focused!
What’s your Fall calendar look like?

Awesome! Can’t wait to meet up!
Great race calendar. I’m signed up for RnR Brooklyn in October. I REALLY want to do Vegas too, but am not sure we can swing getting out there this year. Maybe if some good flight deals pop up though 🙂

I really wanted to do RnR Brooklyn but couldn’t swing it and Philly in the same month. Can’t wait to hear what you think of it!
