William A. Irvin 5k tomorrow and Grandma's Marathon on Saturday to complete the Full Great Grandma's Challenge. First, and hopefully not last, full.3

Many on the Genny this weekend 40 miler trail race1
-
Running my first 10K this Saturday morning5
-
I've got the Giants Head Marathon on Saturday. All 28 miles of it...1
-
Did I mention the Glacier National Park Half Marathon on Sat.? Then on Sun. - Fri. I get to backpack through the park! **Super excited!!3
-
Technically not on the weekend, but I'll be running a 4 mile race on July 4. This is not an "A" race, just a filler because there will be no club speed workout on the holiday.2
-
Also running a 5k on the 4th. Paxtang Patriot Dash to benefit the Lions Club.1
-
I am thinking about signing up for a local 5K on the 4th. If I do, I will sign up race day. It is a question of whether I feel up to a race yet after my recent vacation and I am still working on changing / improving nutrition back to what worked before vacation. It is only 5K, so truth is it is mostly a question of whether I decide to sleep in or not.1

Another 5k event this morning and a new PB. Very pleased all the hard work is paying off!!3
-
15k trail run in Santa Barbara on Independence day. Looks brutal.2
-
10k in my home town in the middle of nowhere on Saturday. Last year only 10 people ran the 10k (there's also a 5k run/walk). There's a very real chance that I may actually come in last, so the goal is to have fun and celebrate how far I've come over the past year and a half!1

I will be running, but not racing, the Shoreline Half Marathon on Saturday. I've agreed to be the 1:40 pacer, so the objective is to finish in 1:40 with as close as possible to even splits of 7:38 every mile. The course is mostly flat with a few wimpy rolling hills, but the weather is traditionally hot and humid. It will be an experience to see how well I can do this.
Sunday I ran 11.8 miles at an average 7:37 pace, but that was a coincidence. I wasn't really watching my pace, and my splits weren't as even as they should be for pacing a half. OTOH, I ran more hills on Sunday than there will be at Shoreline.3 -
Eugene Curnow trail marathon on Saturday. This will technically be a "training run" with SWAG for me, as I am diving into 100k training.2
-
I am running my first ever mile race on Wednesday evening. I have no idea what to expect other than maybe coughing up a lung or two. I'm pretty sure this will be my one and only race at this distance.

Running the Run United 5K on Saturday, if my knee will allow it.1
-
Weekend starts at 5PM on Friday, right? By that definition, I'm racing this weekend. Karknocker 5K, gun time 7 PM on Friday. Small race, probably no bling; but it's in the Rochester Runner of the Year series, which means I have a chance to make progress toward winning my age group for the series.2
-
not technically a race, but I'll be running the UMTR "not Quite" 50k FatAss this weekend.2
-
Another midweek race and another unfamiliar distance. I'm running a 7K on Thursday evening. I haven't yet decided if I'm racing this or just running fast. Maybe I'll see who shows up to motivate me.

HM in Warsaw, Poland this weekend. For me, races are the reward for my training - I sometimes actually refer to them as running parties
Can't wait! 4 -
Harrisburg Half Marathon on Sunday. Goal for this race is to negative split for the first time ever.
2 -
I'm doing the Wabash Trace Half Marathon in SW Iowa this weekend - it is on a 'rails to trails' path. It's my 2nd HM and my goal is to finish. I would like to say I should PR, but a cluster of health-related things say that is out of reach.0
-
Bad Cow 12 hour on Saturday. Planning at least a marathon, possibly 50K.
Bad Cow Marathon on Sunday.3 -
Doing the Historic Hillsborough Half Marathon on Sunday, October 1. Did the inaugural HM last year and came in second in my age group. Last year I was starting my taper for my marathon three weeks later so I felt really prepared. This year I'll be six weeks out from my next marathon and so far it doesn't feel like it is coming together, yet.1

Good luck!! Let us know how you go, enjoy0

Clarendon Marathon on Sunday; Salisbury to Winchester about 27 miles and fairly hilly.1

Gutted. I've been feeling a bit tough for a few days but planned to go ahead with the race today. Woke up at five o'clock to get ready, with a pounding headache and feeling ill.

I'd wanted to get to ten by the end of the year, but won't be able to now.0 -
Big Woods Trail Half Marathon Saturday, if my strained calf muscle will cooperate.
Sorry about the DNS, @MeanderingMammal ! I've had a few of those, but never for a marathon. A devestating blow, I'm sure.1 -
Bourbon Chase Ragnar relay- 200 miles from Louisville to Lexington, KY. Our team starts at 7:45 Friday morning with a projected finish sometime Saturday afternoon. This is the first time I have done a race of this type. I am excited and nervous, as I have a leg that is 5.4 miles on "remote country roads" and my calculations have me there at about 3AM. But I heard that all of the distilleries on the trail roll out the red carpet, so there's that to look forward to!4

Got a call Thursday afternoon asking if I was running the Hershey Half. I said no and I didn't plan on it. They then offered me a free entry to which I said, 'sure, why not". Coming to my senses I called a friend and asked her to join me as a relay. I mean I have 8 miles scheduled anyway, so why not get some bling (and chocolate) for my effort. 2
