My Name is Theodora, and I’m Addicted to Races

I signed up for three more today. Luckily, they’re short (for me.) I think my mom nearly had a heart attack when I told her I’d signed up for three more.

So I’m just going to keep eating carbs, mmmkay?

Anyone else doing any of those races?

  • I'm addicted to half marathons--I think I've run 20ish since college--however I refuse to run anything shorter (in an official racing capacity, that is), because I can't justify the money on race fees! They're SO expensive these days. So many of the SF 10Ks are $50-$75!

  • I'm planning on doing the Mini 10K! I'm currently sidelined by injury, but I'm hoping that can be my first long race back -- and it will be my first 10K ever :)

  • I have the NYRR site open. I am ready to register for the Mini 10K - just waiting for confirmation from Lizzy! Ya hear that, Liz? Fun times in NYC!

  • Hello Theodora, welcome to the club. Be warned, race addiction is impossible to kick. I'm pulling a Becky and sitting here with the NYRR website open. The mini-10k looks like an uber fun race that I definitely might have to join you ladies for.

  • I'm probably ding the mini 10k. Did it last year and had a blast!
    Race addiction is natural - especially when all it takes is your 9+1 to get into the NYC marathon!
