The last time I did this type of post was 2020 and well, we all know how that went.
Now I’m cautiously optimistic that I can share the races I’m registered for in the first half of 2023.
Okay? Okay. Let’s do this.
january
Run 2 miles.
Eat chili.
Get beer.
What could be better?
I love this local race! Good Day for a Run is the best – great race directors and such a warm and friendly environment. They also host another date of this race in February.

It’s time for redemption.
I was registered for this race back in 2020. It was the first one to go virtual and I ran it on the treadmill. That’s right, 13.1 miles, on the treadmill. You can read about it here, but it was a pretty dark and gloomy time of life so I won’t be offended if you don’t.
I have a ton of friends who are traveling down for this year’s race and I know it’s going to be an amazing experience!

I’ve been a legacy runner of the Philly Hot Chocolate Run since my 40th birthday and I’m returning, yet again, to celebrate my 46th!
New this year to the race is a 10k distance! 5k, 10k, or 15k – you’re able to pick your distance and get the amazing swag for all of them. Not to mention the CHOCOLATE on the race course and treats at the end.
The past few years I’ve stuck with the 5k but this year I decided to up the ante and return to where it all started, the 15k.
If you’re planning on registering for any of the Allstate Hot Chocolate races, be sure to use code “BRPRUNHAT” and get your free Hot Chocolate running hat with registration.

Next up in April is the Delaware Marathon Running Festival. With a Full, Half, Relay, (new!) 10k, 5k, and kids run, there is something for every runner!
This is a new-to-me race although it’s been on my radar for awhile. The start line is less than an hour drive from my house and I’ll be headed over the Delaware Memorial Bridge. I’m looking forward to a new experience!
If you’d like to join me there, use discount code “DELAWAREBIB23” for 10% off your registration.
That’s what I’ve got locked in for the first half of this year.
Not to mention the maybes.
This includes Broad Street, First State Trail Race, and any others that might catch my eye. I’m feeling solid with what I have planned so far though – a 2 mile, half, 15k, and 10k. Maybe there will be some PRs on the horizon (I hope so!). I’ve been consistent with my training plus I have some new cross-training happening.
Wishing everyone a happy, healthy, and safe 2023. Let’s do this!
