FEVER
Running fever that is. If you remember, not a month ago I was freaking out over my Ragnar team falling apart, thus totally ruining my life. Not really. Ok, really. Ever since then I've been scrambling to find races for the first half of the year (Ragnar was pricey, thus counted as two races since my money tree hasn't sprouted yet). Well, over the course of 12 hours my life turned around (Thank God), and this happened. I registered for THREE races!
1.) I finallysold my soul swapped weekend on call (work) duty so now I can run GO! STL half marathon (course map, here) along with Jen, Kelly, Holly, Mel, and Laura - basically all the cool kids. I couldn't be more stoked!
Race Perks:
Bonus, even folks tardy for the registration party get a little love - use the code KSDK5 for $5 off. You're welcome.
2.) Zooma Half Marathon with this sassy mamcita
Any excuse for a trip to the Windy City is an awesome one. On a scenic, flat (I smell a PR) course along Lake Michigan, plus the fact the race is put on by two women (GIRL Power!).
Race Perks:
Early registration $85 (first 100 people - $105 after) - holla! And if you register before June 2nd you receive a special care package. If that's not awesome topped with awesome sauce I don't know what is.
3.) My work just paid for the first 20 people to run the Undy 5000 (5k) benefiting Colon Cancer.
Clearly Jesus loves me extra hard today - two of the races on my wish list, the opportunity to race even more this year AND a free race bib? It's too good to be true, and I for one am grateful.
Now if you'll excuse, must continue my happy dance...
