One of the most exciting things to do when you become involved with running is to sign up for races. Signing up for races has helped me set goals for myself and challenge me everyday. Races are also very exciting and fun and you can always ask a friend to join you! Some races that are coming up soon and are available in the Chicago Land area that i have found very exciting include:
-The Cupid's Chase on February 11th which is a 5k run.
-Obstacle Course Training on March 7th which is great for beginners!
-The GORUCK Challenge on March 19th which is a very challenging race and you may walk away with a few bruises but once you finish it you feel like you can take on any challenge in your life.
-Finally, my favorite race I have ever run in the Chicago area is the Columbia Muddy Buddy on July 21st. This race is so much fun but you must be willing to get down and dirty!
