Running Motivators & Race Schedule

I've revitalized my love of running lately in a variety of ways: through group/club runs, doing running shoe 'wear testing' and test fitting for a prominent running shoe company, and of course - racing. These are all motivators in their own right, among others, and I have some longer term goals that I'm currently evaluating... But skipping ahead a bit, I've put together a series of races that I'll be running over the next few months to provide checkpoints on my running progress:

10:30am, Sun, Dec 19 Cambridge Winter Classic - 5k

Providence, RI - not sure yet, it's a bit far and early a start to run as a day trip

In the least, I'll provide race reports for these races, but certainly for any runners out there, let me know if you want to join me and some friends at these races as well.
