Then, the logical side of me kicked in - between now and the middle of June, I'm registered for a half-marathon, marathon, two 50K's and a 40 miler. On the calendar, it doesn't look so bad. When I write it in a single sentence, it's a little scary. Adding another race, two weeks before the difficult 40 miler probably isn't the best thing to do...not like I'd want to go to this and do the 5K!

The North Face Endurance Challenge - D.C.
The other week, an e-mail came through promoting The North Face Endurance Challenge D.C. on June 2-3, 2012. I had a moment where I looked at the calendar to decide if I should run sign up for one of the events. After all, races are fun and this one has every distance imaginable from 5K-50 miles. I've seen these events advertised in pretty much every magazine related to running. It's also within easy driving range of my location.

So, no DC Endurance Challenge for me. But, are you interested in running? There may be a giveaway for entry into any one of the open events soon! The longer distance races are on Saturday, June 2nd and the shorter distance races on Sunday, June 3rd. In the meantime, check out their video below or the site above to register.

I've always been intrigued by those types of races. It's a little too far away for me, but still looks enticing. And my goodness, you have a lot on your schedule for the next few months! Looking forward to following your success!
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who did this marathon last year and loved it. But yeah--you have a packed schedule! Wow. Smart move to skip out on this one!
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to do that race. I was going to do it in San Francisco last year, but then decided on a Marathon that weekend instead. But it looks like fun and I bet the race swag is AWESOME.
ReplyDeleteI've wanted to do one of these races for years!! Probably good that you're not since you have so much going on!
ReplyDeleteHoly moley, your race calendar is crazy!!
ReplyDeleteThere is an endurance challenge race in Wisconsin this fall - I looked at it when I was looking into fall marathons but I think road marathons are challenging enough for me - I don't think I have it in me to do a trail marathon!!
You are hard core, girl!!
ReplyDeleteI did it last year and I would LOVE to run it again! :)
ReplyDeleteI ran it last year and it was so fun! I would do it again in a heartbeat!
ReplyDeleteInteresting! I think I got an email from them and thought it's spam. I better go and check it out :)
