Specifically, the Monster Dash 10K later this month, and the Pioneer Road Run 9mi and Turkey Trot 8mi in November.

Love all your posts! Good job on the running...you can get back into it! Running in the winter always seems easier to me - you don't have to worry about getting too hot and have to keep moving to stay warm. Good luck in your races!
