    I'm running a 5k on the 8th, a fund-raiser for my cousin's military unit; I'm doing another 5k memorial run on the 22nd, and then on the 29th, I'm doing yet another 5k- the Monster Dash. It's the one where I can dress in a costume, and it's one I'm most excited about! =)

    Did my 2nd 5k on Saturday, planning for more the 16th, 29th, 11/5 (4 mile), turkey trot on T-giving, and maybe a couple in December if I like running in the winter....

    Maybe I need a 12-step program... I blame this on DH - he just ran his 4th marathon yesterday and got me into this craziness... :laugh:

    Well... Completed my event today. The Men's Health Survial of the Fittest, hay bails, monkey bars, climbing frames, tunnels, cargo nets, 9ft walls, urban assault course, carrying sand bags and a couple of river crossings.

    12.3km in 1hr 35mins 43 secs, very pleased with that time considering it's my 1st ever event (couldn't pick an easier 5km!!!).

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

    5K on the 16th of October - a bit worried since I have an injured heel - still planning on doing it - even if there is some pain still there.... right now my focus is to get in the cardio with cross training and then start road running again. Hope to go to a podiatrist next week or the week after.

    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 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!

    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.
