The 2008 Baja 1000 is going to require the Dukes of Flatbush racing team to be in top shape. Apart from weight training and a lot of riding, we tend to run a lot of road races. I don’t know about you, but it’s hard to think about a year long training regimen – it’s much easier to break it up into monthly goals. I just did a little research and came up with my 2008 Calendar:

April 26 – Brooklyn Half-Marathon, Brooklyn, NY

May 18th – Bay to Breakers 12k,San Francisco, CA

June 21 – Shelter Island 10k, Shelter Island, NY

July 13 – Montauk Point Lighthouse Sprint Triathlon & Relay, Montauk, NY

August 23 – Queens Half Marathon, Queens, NY

September 6 – NYC Hash House Harriers Red Dress Run XI, New York, NY

September 14 – Staten Island Half Marathon, Staten Island, NY

The Half-Marathons are pretty standard, but you’ve gotta get fired up about the Bay to Breakers and the Hash House Harriers Red Dress run. Both of these races require liberal doses of foolishness and skullduggery. The Hash House Harriers probably say it best – they are a drinking club with a running problem. On on!
