Itchin' to race

I find myself checking the website for the Broad Street Run every couple of days. Registration for the race (held on May 4th this year) won't open until mid-February. So why do I keep going back to the site? Mostly because I want to be signed up for something. I want a goal. Something I can look forward to. I'm distracting myself fairly well with speed work on the treadmill (which I ran on again yesterday) but that's only going to last so long. I'm hoping to get outside for my run tomorrow. I haven't run outside in weeks. It's going to be cold (high 20's to low 30's) but as long as it's not snowing I'll be out there. Running on the road clears my head much better than on the treadmill and I think I'm in need of some of that.
