I'm doing my first of any of this on October 22nd! It's a 1k walk/5k run for PanCan Austin. It's the Purple Stride event supporting pancreatic cancer research. I can't wait!!!! My daughter and I are participating.

Half Marathon in Des Moines, IA on October 16th
Half Marathon in New Orleans, LA on October 29th -- my birthday- I always wanted a race shirt with my birthday on it Now I just have to find a "happy birthday" tiara -- shouldn't be too hard!

I was wondering if all of you run the ENTIRE way? Or do you do a walk/run combo?

I ran all but maybe a half mile walking only at the water stations and then about a half mile around mile 12. The last Half I did in June was just the opposite and most people walk some

Good Luck to all in your upcoming races and CONGRATS to all who already kicked some butt running your races! I have a 5k on 10/23 followed by a 15k on 11/6 a 4 mile hills race on Thanksgiving and a Jingle Bell Run 5k on 12/17. I'm training to do a half in the Spring 2012...I think!

Good luck to all who are running this weekend hope your training has gone well and your have a PR this weekend

Thanks! I'm pretty nervous and keep reading and re-reading and re-reading the tips in AZTrailRunner's sig :P

I have my very first race, a 10K, on October 23rd. Finished my longest training run today, 6 miles, so I'm psyched for the 23rd to get here.

Just added a costumed 5K for Cystic Fibrosis on October 28th. I'll be running it with a bunch of friends from high school who still live in town. It's going to be a blast!

I'm running a 5.6K (3.5 mile) "fun run" in about 30 minutes from now to benefit the local VA hospital.

I'm very likely doing a 5k tomorrow. Unless I wake up feeling like poop. I've been fighting a cold.

Thanks! I kicked bootie! I didn't win anything (I'm probably the only woman in the world who WANTS to turn 40.... It'll be nice being the youngest instead of oldest in my age group! Too much competition in the 30-39 group!), but I beat my PR by 30 seconds and came in at 24:59!

Not bad considering I only started running 10 months ago.

Finished my first 10k in 1:03:10. That's an 10:11 min/mi. My previous PR for min/mi was 10:33 during a 5k. Now I'm looking for a spring half marathon to run.

How's everyone doing in their training/races?

I tackled the Warrior Dash with minor injuries Next Sun is my Halloween 5k. Hopefully I'll be able to meet or beat my personal best 37:43.

And great job to everyone! You are doing such an awesome job!!

Anyone have any new races they've registered for? I have a 10miler in Mar that I get to sign up for soon. Still no half marathon yet, but I'll find a local one soon..

I have my very first race, a 10K, on October 23rd. Finished my longest training run today, 6 miles, so I'm psyched for the 23rd to get here.

Just added a costumed 5K for Cystic Fibrosis on October 28th. I'll be running it with a bunch of friends from high school who still live in town. It's going to be a blast!

Ran the 10K this morning in just under 1:16. Not too bad considering we're still having temps in the 90s here and the race didn't start until 8:30. It was WARM. What a great event! It's held at the Univ. of Arizona, the charity is the Arizona Cancer Center and it honors Bobbi Olsen, the wife of Lute Olsen, the former UA basketball coach, who died of breast cancer about a decade ago.

Still have the costumed 5K this Friday night and now another 5K on Sunday morning. I'm going to be beat on Monday. :laugh:

We're also adding a 5K Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning and possibly another 10K in December.

I sooooo wish there was a costumed run around here! There were a few scheduled, but they were cancelled due to flooding in the area last month.

Great run! I truly admire you for being able to run in heat like that. It always kills me.

Have fun with your two 5ks!! They sound like a lot of fun!

Two adventure races down!

BroDave

I have 2 races this Saturday both 5K's. One at 0830 for Breast Cancer Awareness, the other at 1100 called Step Up For Down Syndrone. Both should be fun.

Holy cow, dude, and I thought I was bad with one 5K on Friday night and one Sunday morning. :laugh:

I'm officially signing up for a half marathon in January. Adding the training schedule to my calendar right at this moment. I can't believe I'm doing this....
