June 6 - Race for the Parks 15K
http://www.active.com/page/Event_Details.htm?event_id=1705109
I will volunteer to get my hours for the Buckeye 50K. (I have done previously races when it was 4 miles)
June 20 - Jim Klet 5K, 10K

I have been running the 10Ks for many years. Tough hills make a PR impossible.
~ July 4th - Kent 10K
This is a very small race and nearly everyone (especially women) gets an award. Not sure if it is held this year. I have my 10K PR in this race
July 12: Broadview Hts 5K
http://www.hermescleveland.com/roadracing/events/broadview.asp
I have never done this before but I thought we (our entire family) might enter since it is a local race. This will be my first attempt for an under 20 minute 5K
July 18: Buckeye Trail 50K
http://www.buckeyetrail50k.com/bt50k.html
I have signed up for this. My first race at 50 years old! (but there are no age group awards in this race) I have run this twice already. Tough but good!
August 8: Independence 5K
http://www.hermescleveland.com/roadracing/events/independence.asp
A good race for a 5K PR. I have set my 5K PR here (20:08) but have not run this race the couple of years because we were on vacation. I will aim for an under 20 minute time.
August 16: Perfect 10 Miler

This should be a nice race for my wife too. I have run it the last 3 years.
September 13: Buckeye 5K, 1/2M, or River Run 1/2M

Too bad there is a conflict again this year. When the races were one week apart, I was doing both, but the last years I did the Buckeye. This year however, I might try the River Run again, if Liz makes this her first half marathon race. (It is a point-to-point and a downhill course, so it is perfect for a PR or first 1/2 Marathon - it was my first one too)
September 26: Akron Marathon
http://www.akronmarathon.org/
I ran my first Akron marathon last year. The course is tough but the race is fun. I have not decided what to do this year. I would run a family relay or 1/2 marathon. I'd rather not do a full marathon if I am going to run Athens in November.
October 11: Towpath Marathon
http://www.towpathmarathon.net/
I might run the marathon slowly as a training run for Athens, or just do the half. I must do something since I want to support this race.
November 8: Athens Marathon
http://www.athensclassicmarathon.gr/Yeah!!! The "Classic" marathon. First marathon ever (1896). Older than Boston... I could go on and on but I stop here.
November 22: Fall Classic 5K, 1/2M
http://www.cwrrc.org/
It has become a family tradition.
December 31: Great new Year's Eve 5K
http://www.summitathletic.com/
A nice way to finish the year.
