It's not a timed race, but I'm participating in the Screamtown 5k tonight, with zombies!0

October was a great month for me! PR'd my 10K on 10/1; PR'd my 5K on 10/22 and PR'd my half on 10/23! Also PR'd my 8K (but that was 9/24). Good month for me, also won first in my AG in the 5K this past Saturday (and did the same for my 8K on 9/24). I'm in the zone now, first marathon coming up on 11/5. Feeling confident!
Good luck with the rest of your races!0 -
Holy cow, dude, and I thought I was bad with one 5K on Friday night and one Sunday morning. :laugh: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.
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....
I am doing a half in January also I also just regestered for a full marathon in April so my training will start in January after my half.
I do 7 to 12 miles everyday so two 5k's will be doable.0 -

If so, I am sure you won't have any problems.

I've just been informed that my 3 mile run on Sunday has been turned into 7 miles. "We're going to do 4 and then we'll go over and do the fun run." Umm, sure!0 -
Well I ran a Half Marathon on 9/26 and another one on 10/23 (5 weeks apart), with a big PR in the most recent race. This has officially been the best 5 weeks of running ever! :drinker:0

well, i intended to run a 5k on sunday, but i surprised myself the other day when i realized i could acutally run 6.2 miles straight, so i'm headed for a 10k this sunday!
any tips from all you other awesome race runners out there? this will be my first race and i've only been running since august, so i'm not expecting to place, i just want a base time to compare later races to as i improve my speed.0 -
Do you have an idea of your average mile splits? If yes, you can use that to figure out what your race time should be. You can also just use your latest 6.2 mile training run to give you an idea.well, i intended to run a 5k on sunday, but i surprised myself the other day when i realized i could acutally run 6.2 miles straight, so i'm headed for a 10k this sunday!

I use Cardio Trainer which shows the time it takes me to complete each mile of my run. I'm averaging about 11:30 minutes per mile right now on my 2-3 mile runs. I finished a 10K on Sunday in 75 minutes, including a potty break.0 -
Raced yesterday in beautiful Vancouver, BC around the Seawall in Stanley Park.
James Cunningham Seawall Race 2011 - 5.9mi (9.5km) race.
What a hoot. Pissing rain before moving to light rain for the entire race. Tons of folks in costume. A great way to spend the morning.
PB for me!: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/125370498

Ran my Haloween 5k this past Sunday 37:57, considering it was very chilly, windy, and crazy hills and I had 'a cold' I'd say that wasn't too bad. However, I found out that my 'cold' is actually strep throat AND bronchitis. Luckily I'm on meds and am good to go for my 8th and final (for now) 5k of the year this Sautrday.
Keep at it all. Doing fantastic!0 -
Signed up for another 5k on the 12th. It's on the UVA campus, to promote healthy alternatives to drunk driving. Called the 4th Year 5k.0

The one in Cedar Creek? I live in the Austin area and have been wanting to do that race or the muddy buddy. Good luck to you! I just signed up for the Cap 10K and the Danskin Tri yesterday.....they aren't until next year and I am already scared:sick:0 -

Great run!! Really good time, I think you should go for it on the 10KRan my first 5K this morning. 22 mins 38 secs. Thinking about a 10K on Dec 3rd.0 -
Did a 4 miler yesterday - my longest race thus far. 45:27. The hardest part seems to be getting the "I can't do this!" part of my mind to shut up and let my body do its thing. I just kept telling myself I could walk if I needed to, after certain specific places, like "after 2 miles," then at 2 miles I told myself, "I can walk at three miles if I need to." Then at 3 miles, "I can walk after that jog in the road, if I need to." Then I could see the finish and realized I really could run the whole thing. AND then I had some left for a kick at the end. Love the confidence boost that comes from doing something you didn't think you ever could...0

I am running my first road race ever on thanksgiving, a turkey trot...4.4 miles eek!0

The nice thing about running is that you don't need an official race to keep challenging yourself. Keep working on that 5K and your PR. When you do have funds for a race, you'll be more than ready!5k this past Saturday and I have a new PR: 35:19, soo close to my goal of being under 35min!

I am doing one of those, too, although I think ours is just 5K. It's one way to make room for that piece of pumpkin pie after dinner!I am running my first road race ever on thanksgiving, a turkey trot...4.4 miles eek!0
