It's Monday! And it's the beginning of December! How goes your running?

Have you made any plans for next year yet? Races to run, goals to strive for?

My running is going fine, though I'm not doing much. I have a low-key goal of running at least 3 times a week for now. My plan will be to ramp back up in the new year, as we start to get more daylight hours and it will become easier to run before or after work on weekdays.

I am about to register for a 5K in early March, and a 5-mile trail race later that month, which will give me some motivation to get moving more often in the middle of winter! I want to do more trail races next year, and I'm thinking about another 5-mile trail race at the end of April, and/or a hillier 8-mile trail race at the beginning of May. My choices will depend on working out some travel plans. I also have my eye on a 10-mile trail race in July.

I want to do another half-marathon next fall, and I'm thinking about the Detroit Half, which is fairly close to home. I will probably be annoyed by some of the inconveniences of such a large race, but I really like the idea of running through two countries in one race so I figure I should do it once!

Yay, good goals! And I love trail races. I'm not nearly as good at them as I am at road racing, but I enjoy them a lot.
