well, I would not call it "racing", but I got my first HM on Monday3

I'll be running the USATF Masters 10K Championship, a.k.a. the James Joyce Ramble, on Sunday in Dedham, MA. 13 days past Boston I'm not looking for a PR, but I hope to be able to run it as a race.2

I'll be racing in my first ultramarathon Saturday, the Chippewa Moraine 50K in Wisconsin:

Good luck @7Lenny7! You are sooo ready for this!1

01/05 - 13.1 mile - Captain Turtle managed to complete his first official HM. Stayed with the 2hr pacer for the 1st mile, and then managed to stay with the 1:55 pacer (only just). Official time was 1:55:30, so managed to stay under my goal. Weather was cold (which is why wimp I am, I wore the long legs and a gilet over my shirt), but other than a bit of drizzle half way, my Oakley sunglasses came in very handy
. Crappiest part was when we arrived back at the Football (soccer for the american readers) stadium, and you thought you were finished, you had to complete another half a "lap of honour" .... holy cwap, give me my banana 
Let's see if I can attach my bling

Pittsburgh Marathon on Sunday.

@dewd2 -Have fun in Pittsburgh! It is on my bucket list. It's my home town, but I have yet to run it (I don't live there anymore, but my family still does).1

First 5K of the season, Sandy Hook, N.J. May 14. Also the first anniversary of my first race in about 35 years, or so. Looking to better my 29:09 time of last year ;-)2
-
Lilac Run 10K on Sunday, which is also the USATF Niagara Region 10K Championship. The field won't be as competitive as a USATF national event, but there should be some pretty good runners there.2
-
My husband signed me up for his company's 5k fun run today, funny thing is it's tomorrow lol. Oh well, I'll crayfish afterwards so I'm not complaining.2
-
I'm doing a small local 10K this weekend.0
-
I'm running the Highland Half, which is part of the Smoky Mountain Scottish Festival. I'm a bit concerned because there's supposed to be a thunderstorm, and I've never raced in the rain.0
-
@apullum - Wicking clothes, wool running socks (Darn Tough and Smartwool are good), embrace being wet, and have fun. It's best if the race starts before it starts raining, so you're warmed up before you get wet.
If there's lightning, most race organizers will call off the race; but if you're already on the course when that happens, there may not be a better option than just running the rest of the way.1 -
Running in the Joplin memorial marathon (running the half) tomorrow. Good chance its going to be raining but storms should be gone by then.0
-
Looks like it's a big weekend for racing! Good luck to all of you!2
-
Memorial Day, Ridgewood N.J. my first 10K. Looking for a PB ;-)2

Last minute decision, I'm running the Canandaigua Classic Half Marathon tomorrow morning. I registered at packet pick up today, then drove over to the start venue to look at the end of the course, which I'd never seen before. From the map, I'm guessing the first 7 miles will be mostly rolling hills, mile 8 will be downhill, miles 9-12 will be flat, and from mile 12 to the end is uphill. Tomorrow I'll find out how accurate my guesses are. I've seen the last half mile, and I'll try to do a warm up out and back on the last mile.1
-
I'm doing a 5K trail run tomorrow. Should be small, and is about 1 hr. drive away in a rural area. The longest distance is 5K, and I've never been on those trails but expect a mix of slightly technical trails, maybe some gravel and possibly pavement along the route. It shouldn't be terribly difficult terrain and probably only a few small hills.0
-
It's that time of year again, the D-Day 10k at Currahee. Race starts at Camp Toccoa's historic site then, at the mile 2 mark, it's a near 700-foot climb over the next mile up to the top of Currahee Mountain.

No race distance PR's will be set. And I've been nursing a hamstring for about 2 months now, so I'm just hoping to run/jog just a little further up the mountain than I did last year (made it about 2/3 of the way before walking last year). If I do that, I'll be happy.0 -
Ragnar PA this weekend. Our team starts Friday morning at 7:15. I am runner number 8 so I won't start until closer to noon. I also get the "Ragnar Leg" which is the leg determined to be the hardest (I even get a special medal for running it). A couple of us ran it 'for run' last week and let me tell you they are not kidding. 2

Cosley Zoo Run for the Animals 5k/10k tomorrow in Wheaton, Illinois. I chose the 10k because I am a glutton for punishment. It's my first "real" race... I've done several virtual races but this is my first live race. I'm nervous as heck.3

you got this! First official race is a big thing! First race I ran just me was a 10k, you chose a great distance for your first race and you'll do awesome!0 -
If it's after 6PM on Friday, does it count as the weekend? I'll be running the McMullen Mile on a track tomorrow evening. A race that short isn't my comfort zone, but I'll see how I do.
Edit to add: Perhaps I shouldn't even mention it on the Long Distance Runners forum; is a mile race too short to discuss here?1 -
@MobyCarp Nah, I think you are ok talking about a 1 mile race. You have the street cred to pull it off.1
-
I've got a 5k on Sunday - a week exactly following my latest half. We'll see what the legs think about that on the day. Very different terrain too - the half was dead flat and on tarmac, the 5k is super hilly and probably very muddy too.1
-
Medved 5K to Cure ALS on Sunday 6/18. This comes as my marathon training is ramping up the miles. Fortunately, I don't need to PR the 5K. I just need to run sub-20 and finish ahead of my friend Bill.4
