    Training for my first Marathon in October! Also will be completing a half marathon in June, July and September leading up! Tough Mudder looks awesome, I have a friend who did it and loved the challenge!

    Powerlifting competition. Aiming for one in November of NEXT year. I need plenty of time to get used to the idea of wearing a singlet (which is required for this comp) :grumble:

    I have a sprint Triathlon in August, other than that, fun races that I don't truly train for

    Tap N Run this weekend
    Warrior Dash - August
    Foam Fest - August

    The Triathlon is enough for me to actually train for, I just did one at the end of March, so trying to build on that to get faster. I mostly compete against myself, but like to beat my brother in the tri :)

    Not exactly the same I know, but I'm an actor looking to get back out there and found out a local company is doing one of my favorite musicals this winter. Auditions are in November. One of the roles I'm aiming for does require you to look sexy as well as having a killer voice... so I'm training both my body, and whipping my voice back into shape as well :wink:

    Like I said, not the same thing as an athletic event, but that's the mindset in which I'm putting myself, the better to keep my eyes on the prize, as the saying goes :glasses:

    << always training for the zombie apocalypse. ;)

    but I did volunteer to do two hours in a relay for life, next month. I'd like to get 10 miles done in that time. :)

    Right now I'm maintaining my fitness as I'm running quite a few halfs. I just ran one last weekend, have another one on June 7 and then next is June 28. In August or so I'll be increasing my miles and heading towards my first full marathon in October.

    Considering an October marathon (October just seems like such a nice month for a 26.2 mile race...). But definitely running a half in November, and I've got a few races this summer that are my short-term goals: an 8K on the 4th of July, and the Bix7 at the end of July (7 miles of HILLS. Woo hoo!).

    10-miler this weekend
    Half Mary 05/17
    Half Mary 06/01
    Half Mary 06/28
    And I'd be here all day if I continue ???? I have four more HM's and lots of shorter stuff and that takes us through the end of Sept.
    Feeling out the idea of a 24-hour ultra in October.

    I am not even close to goal weight but this thread motivated me to register for Relay for Life in June. Thanks for the motivation - I live a sedentary life but now I have to get busy so I can make it around the track more than once. It's only one lap at a time.

    My first 5k is scheduled for June 22. I haven't ran consistently in two years, not that I was much of a runner before :laugh:

    "I'm training to be fcuking fabulous" I'm not sure there is an event for how fabulous I can be- but when there IS one- I'm going to win- no questions asked.

    this is my answer to ALL questions about me training- and yes I have had people walk up and ask me if I was training for an event.



    That being said- I'm officially training for my first power lifting meet- but I haven't changed much other than doing a specific program- I'm actually lifting less than I normally do LOL.
