It’s almost here, the time of year when the runners who live in the sun belt (otherwise know as Hades) start to base build for a fall half marathon (or marathon if you are much more hardcore than myself.) I have spent a lot of time deciding how much I want to race and where. So far my tentative plans are.
A Race:
Space Coast Marathon & Half- Marathon in Cocoa Beach.
The expo is at Kennedy Space Center and the official snack is the moon pie. Plus there is a space-themed finishers medal. Last year was really awesome and would look great in my office.
So cool.
This was my first (and only) 15K. It is a great distance and there are not enough of them. It also benefits the Alexander Center for Neonatology at the Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies. If I can help babies and run a really fun race, count me in.
So there you have the two races that I am definitely going to run in the fall. I may toss in a few 5K’s (maybe not if my quest to a sub-30 does not pan out but who knows) and a 10K. I would also like to try a short trail race if I can find one in the area.
Do you have your fall racing schedule planned out? Am I missing out on any really awesome races?
My brother lives in Cocoa and spectated the marathon last November. He texted me a picture of the medal afterwards, and I was HOOKED! The Space Coast half is on my race schedule for 2012–maybe I’ll see you there!

That would be so cool! I have heard so many good things about this race and will be so looking forward to it.
I’m signed up for Space Coast! woo hoo! I did the 15k last year and it was so freakin’ hot out that I swore off this race. Though, I would probably register 2 days in advance if I could be guaranteed cool weather.
So we’ll see what Mr. Weatherman says in a few months.
Awesome! Maybe there will be enough people running to do some kind of meet-up. I hope the weather is cool enough because joining a gym has lowered my tolerance to running in the heat and humidity. Having another option has made me mostly choose to run in the ac.
I have decided that any new races like 5k I am going to sign up last minute since I have had a crazy schedule lately but I have one half planned out and that is about it! Your races sounds like so much fun, the medal sounds great!

It really is hard to plan so far in advanced when you are busy. I just get tired of paying the highest possible entry fee to every race because I wait until the last minute to enter.
For the first time in a long time I have no Fall races on my radar, feels so weird! Haha

Sometimes it is nice to just be able to run.
