Well, 2013 is almost over. I've come along way. Five races between September and December, with the final one in Colorado. Wow! I never thought I'd accomplish anything like that. I loved every minute, even the ones with frustrating registration and courses. I can only see things getting better in 2014.
So far, I have registered for the 2014 Crazylegs Classic in Madison at the end of April. Beyond that I've still got my eye on BolderBoulder a month later on Memorial Day. I think there are at least three races that I did this past year that I will run again. So, if you're considering making a donation to an organization this next year, you'll have plenty of opertunities.
First, I have my StandUp2Cancer team, with a goal of $1000 by May 26, the date of BolderBoulder. I really like this one as all the money goes to research. You can made just a general donation, or you can make it in memory or honor of someone you know who has been affected by cancer. Definatly worth checking out.
I do plan on running two other charity races. I plan on running in Carbones Race for Research, which benefits the University of Wisconins's Carbone Cancer Center. This was the first race I ran, and I think will always hold that special place. Hopefully this next year they'll get the distance right. I also plan on running in the Make A Wish run that I did spur of the moment this last year. That one was just so rewarding seeing the Wish kids along the course and hearing some of their stories, or the stories of why some of the teams had formed.
I'm also open to suggestions of organizations to run for. If you have one that you like, please, let me know about it and I'll see if there is a race near by, or if I can kind of hook up with them like it did with SU2C.
