2016

Well, that escalated quickly.

Not really, but I did win a free entry to the Glass City Half Marathon in Toledo. It's two weeks after Athens and two weeks before Cleveland -- and likely my best chance to PR in the first part of the year.

Aaron's first comment: "Looks like you'll have two sub-1:55s before May."

I don't know about that, but it does relieve pressure for Cleveland. Or does it apply more pressure? Or do I just run and enjoy all of the experiences? We'll see.

Tentative 2016 now:

January: Dirty Snowflake 4-mile prediction run
February: Dirty Love 10k trail race
March: Shamrock 15k
April: Athens Half Marathon & Glass City Half Marathon
May: Cleveland Half Marathon
