Miles: 112.5-122.5: One week!

That's right - one week until the STL Go! Half-Marathon.

Training for this race has been sketchy, what with the shin splints, bad weather, and various illnesses combated over the past 90 days, but today's run proves that the body is an amazing machine.

1:36:43 for 10 miles ain't too shabby. More importantly, it's right in pace with the 10 miler that my sister and my mom ran last weekend, so the impact of our matching running outfits should be stunning and we run side by side to the finish line.

James and I have been trying to decide what our next race will be. We both want to run one more half before spring race season is over.  Unfortunately, due to the impending hot weather, this coming weekend is the last big half-marathon weekend in Eastern North Carolina, so we've been trying to look in Western NC as well as Eastern Virginia for a race in May. While it's a great way to sign up for races online, Active.com is no longer my prefered site - Running in the USA is. 

Providing a far more user friendly search (i.e. click Find a Race, then on the state of your choice, the run of your choice and - voila! - a chronological list of races at your fingertips), this website allowd me to home in on a race the weekend before Memorial Day weekend in Williamsburg, VA - Run for the Dream.

The rest of our 2011 race year is loosely shaping up as:

April 9th - Greater Goldsboro Road Race 10K (James)
April 10th - STL Go! Half-Marathon (Erin)
April 30th - Mt. Olive Cuke Patch 5k
May 22nd - Williamsburg Run for the Dream Half-Marathon
July 30th - Davenport Bix 7
September 11th - Chicago Half Marathon

And, of course, hopefully some more 5K and 10K runs in there.

Maybe I'll get to 1111 miles yet.
