Classes are over, final exams are next week and then I won't be back in the classroom until September 2012. I'm taking an educational leave for the next year to get a good chunk of my dissertation written and thought it might be "fun" to set a physical challenge to go with the the intellectual challenge - run 12 half marathons in 12 months.
When I mentioned this idea someone suggested tying in some fund-raising with this, so I'll try to promote the designated charities for the events I do.
I'm happy to have company, I'll post the events I plan on doing as I identify them, and would love to hear about your favorite races. Here's what I have so far:
#0 - April 3rd, 2011 Fool's Run Gibsons to Davis Bay, BC - this was the warm up or prequel run.
#1 - May 1st, 2011 Eugene Half Marathon
