The ones I am planning to run are the ones with three asterisks (***).  In general, I will be using these races as my speedwork throughout the year.  I've always felt that this was a fun way to get in some speed.  And since my main focus for this year is the ultras, I really don't need a lot of speedwork.  And to round out my training plan, I will be incorporating some hills and tempo runs.

Next time I will be laying out my whole race schedule for the year.
