Running in Year 2023 (Goal 2023 km)

Registered for ATB 30 K and Chilly Half Marathon

Just went on-line and registered for the Around the Bay 30 K race ($65 + $5 processing fee = $70) and for the Chilly Half Marathon ($65 + $5 processing fee = $70). Hoped for snail mail registration but couldn't find any; did e-mail ATB organizer but did not get e-mail reply. The one change I like is bib pickup has been extended on the Friday until 7 PM for the ATB race -- last year I arrived at 6 PM and only got in after people were leaving (i.e, doors locked). Fortunately, people were still at the bib pickup area -- just the expo was already closed.

With the increase in race registration, along with extra 8% tax due to HST, looking at cutting down on number of races. Probably going to focus on half marathons, 30 Ks, and full marathons, but as always, time will tell :-| Thus, won't be registring for the Resolution Run as I only run it for the jacket (which hang in my closet); further, it's not 5 K but 4.3 K last year. Also won't be running in the Sporting Life 10 K in May nor the Acura 10-miler in July. Since Toronto Marathon and Mississauga Marathon are on the same day, opted for the Toronto Marathon (even though Mississauga was 1/2 price early bird).

Thus, 2011 races look like:

- Chilly Half Marathon -- March 6, 2011 -- registered a few minutes ago!
- Around the Bay 30 K -- March 27, 2011 -- registered a few minutes ago!
- Toronto Marathon (full) -- "A" race -- May 15, 2011 -- not registered yet

- Midsummer Night's 30 K Run -- 3rd Saturday in August, 2011 -- not registered yet
- Toronto Waterfront Marathon (full) -- last Sunday in September, 2011 -- not registered yet -- "A" race
