I think one of the best parts of this crazy running game is getting a chance to get out there and race after all the work is put in especially during the winter months. There is just something about that feeling where nothing else matters for those intense minutes while you are racing. That time is yours with no outsiders messing with you giving you the chance to just own it.
Running affords everyone the chance to get out there to pick and choose races and for me the most fun I have had in the sport is traveling to races throughout the United States. This Saturday February 19 is the Snowman Stampede in Littleton, CO held in Hudson Gardens. There is a 5 mile and 10 mile race. I noticed though that you can sign up to run both the 5 mile and 10 mile races with about 25-30 minutes apart depending on how fast you finish the 5 miler. At first this sounded awesome but then in taking into account the 5600' of altitude I decided against racing both. The winner of each race along with an awesome racing tour of Hudson Gardens gets a brand new pair of New Balance shoes. My father in law and wifey are also racing so it should be a fun one and a great workout.
This year get out and checkout a new race outside of your home racing area. You do not really know what you are missing for other races until you get off of your home turf. Would THE WARRIORS had as much "fun" getting back to their home turf of Coney Island if they did step out and go on a little field trip to checkout Cyrus speak in the Bronx....no way?
Post a link and share some info about some of your favorite races so everyone can checkout some new races.
