Bring it 2015!

So, here it is!  The official logo of our race and date!  This is exciting!  Along with my 2015 running goals, being a part of this committee and running a successful race is going to cap it off.  Registration and links are soon coming, but I couldn't hold back any more and had to share this.

Again, I've never been a part of something like this.  There is so much that goes into coordinating a race.  However, we've been bless with a great and very knowledgeable committee that have been more than willing to work together, share ideas and put a professional race together.  We have been able to tap resources from the Akron Marathon and Pro Football Hall of Fame Marathon for input and ideas.  Local businesses and non profits have been willing to offer volunteers and assistance where is needed.  We'll hit some road bumps, but I think we are heading in the right direction.

The downside...I will not be able to participate in the race itself.  But I expect to see a lot of faces I recognize!  Hint...hint.

My other goals for the year:

• Still want to break the 20 minute mark for a 5K (carry over from 2014)
• 3 Half Marathons this year (Capital City, Columbus - Akron Half - TBD)
• Would like to cut 15 seconds per mile off my Half time from Akron 2014 (7:30/mile)
• 1 Trail run (TBD)
• Get my wife to run her first half (that is going to be a challenge...but she has been bitten by the running bug)
• Get my kids to run at least my son a 5K and my daughter a 1 Miler.  Alex...what do you think about that?

Ah, I see.  And Korrine, what do you think?

THAT'S THE SPIRIT!

We'll give it time.  Keep working hard and God Bless you all.
