It is done. I am officially a member of the New York Road Runners Club. Which means that I will receive a glossy, full-color magazine! Ooh. It also means that I can start thinking about putting a race schedule together for 2006. Fortunately, many of their races are in the 3-6 mile range and with enough practice in the spring, I should be able to handle that. I got a glimpse of their 2006 calendar and noted the following options. They are all in the morning and unless stated otherwise, they will all be in Central Park.

April 9 : 4 miles
April 23 : 4 miles
May 14 : 5K (3.1 miles)
May 20 : 10K (6.2 miles)
June 18 : 5 miles
July 15 : 5 miles
July 29 : 5K (3.1 miles)... IN SHEA STADIUM!!!!!!!
Sept. 16 : 1 mile ... along 5th Avenue
Oct. 1 : 1.7 mile (an odd distance...)
Oct. 29 : 5 miles
Nov. 19 : 4 or 5 miles

Something to look forward to while it's currently 15 degrees out there.
