    I'm just starting to train up for late summer & fall cross-country. I do plan to run a marathon in December, assuming I'm running injury free. I'll probably run a half marathon or three in the fall, but not gunning for a personal best.

    @whatmerunning i also had a moment of stupidity and signed up for a 50K. Problem is its in Arkansas in July, which usually equals 100 degrees and 100% humidity. The only saving grace is the start is at 7:00 pm.

    Currently training for triathlon - Nashua sprint tri in two weeks, one TBD in July, and Title 9 in Hopkinton MA in early September. Only sprint triathlons this year as I pretty much hate the bike and motivation is lacking. Meanwhile I'll be looking to maintain a running base in order to jump right into half marathon training in August/September.

    After my first two 5 K's (29:09 & 28:28) I've entered another 5 K in July, a 4 Miler in August and a Half Marathon in September. This is what I'm training for, plus, just to be in better condition.

    At 3:39 for your first maraton you should just about have Boston in the bag. 3:35 is the female cut off for under 35

    I'm training for the Hokie Half Marathon (October 9). I'm a Virginia Tech alum and it's a nice excuse to get back to Blacksburg for a weekend.

    Yes I was stoked, thank you! I'm hoping to make it there one day in the next few years (I'm 20 so technically have 14 years haha). Starting a training program Monday to increase speed
