Cherry Blossom 10 in our beloved nation's capital and a half in Frederick, Maryland shortly thereafter.

What are your running? Have you run it before? Did you like the course?

For me, this is my 3rd 10miler for the Cherry Blossom. An awesome, organized beautiful race. The Frederick half is smaller, hilly, and quiet. I run it more as a tune up to stay sharp for other runs.

    I did a 10K in late November ... right at the end of spring. Spring 2019 is too far away to plan.

    I'm running a marathon in Myrtle Beach on March 2. I've never run this one before. If I recover quickly, I may do a HM in April.

    I’m on a relay team for the Big Sur Marathon, running the last leg (9 miles), and also looking for a spring HM. I typically run a local 10k in mid-February as well.

    I haven't run a race in a long time but I've been tempted to train for the Marine Corp Half Marathon in Fredericksburg, Virginia. I have a running buddy that runs many races a year and he loves that race.

    Just ran 12K ... my longest run ever. I am hoping to do a half-marathon in mid January (mid-summer) ... but I'm not 100% sure.

    RED January for me, and then half marathon training starts in Feb, race in May.

    At the moment, only a 12 hour event in May. Possibly a Half the following day as well, but I'm undecided at the moment.

    Probably a half marathon sometime in January, and then the LA Marathon in March that I’ve been actively training for.

    Two 1/2 marathon's (3/9 and 4/6). This completes a 36.2 mile challenge in which I do the 10 miler late November 2018. The 10 miler runs on a portion of the 3/9 1/2's course. Some challenging hills in our downtown district for sure.

    I also do an 8k and 10k late spring and mid summer. I've done all these races for the past 4 years, love doing them all, from focusing on speed for the shorter one to going the distance on the l/2's. :smile:

    Disney Princess half in February, Pittsburgh half in May, Pittsburgh Great Race in September, and hopefully the Richmond Crawlin Crab half in October.

    BAA 5k the weekend of the marathon, Patriots day weekend. But it sells out fast, I've only been able to run it 3 out of the 5 opportunities I've had.

    Probably more will pop up, but that's one of my A races

    Shamrock marathon in March in VA beach (and if I’m crazy enough I’ll do the whale challenge - so the 8k the day before)

    I have heard so many good things about this run. Wrong coast, unfortunately.

    I'm in the UK
    24 March- Colchester half
    14 April- Brighton Marathon
    28 April- London marathon
    19 May- Colchester stampede 10km

    I'll probably be adding a few other races but they're the main ones for the first half of the year

    It was my first half/marathon back in 2006 (I think)
