    I've got a couple races in the fall, but the one I'm training for is the St. Jude Marathon.
    I'll use the other races (one's a half marathon) as training runs.

    Thanks for asking! Training for my first half marathon (gulp) next month.
    Montreal Sep 23 - Rock n Roll Half
    Currently wishing I'd signed up for a Spring race so I could train in winter. Heat/humidity are killing me.

    Army Run Half Marathon Sept 23rd....(I've got a metric century on September 8th but it's a charity ride not a race)

    10k in mid September, then who knows. I like running races because I run so much better than when I'm out alone, but unless it's a really low entry fee or a charity I feel strongly about, it seems like a waste of money. I'd rather spend that cash on a new shirt that I'd actually enjoy wearing rather than yet another race tee. :wink:

    I've got some friends running in that, it shouldn't be too bad in September. If you like running in the cold watch the Running Room's website, they have a race called the Hypothermic Half in January - it's a riot!

    Nothing at the moment. Being a uni student that works full time (usually on weekends) it is very hard to get to races. I've decided not to travel to races for a couple of years... hopefully by then uni will be complete and I may even have a Mon-Fri job.

    So I wait for local races... there are two per year in my town and I just completed one last weekend (my first ever!) I'm having withdrawals already, hehe. I am going to just start to increase my distances again. I have already increased my running sessions and have started to add some hill runs. But I'm really focusing on my distance.

    I am not training for a Race per say. Last August with the Help of myfitness pal and C25k. I trained and lost almost 30 lbs. I completed a 5k this past December. I loved it. I am hoping to do another one. Not anytime soon as I am a FULL Time nursing Student. I run/walk/jog on my Lunch hours.. LOL its mostly walking due to a hurt shoulder.. But at least I can say I am trying right?

    On a bit of a health related hiatus right now, but I am registered to run a 5k in November in honor of my friend's husband who lost his life to cancer. Even if I have to walk, I am doing it!

    Hope it's not bad form to quote your own post...I forgot to add that I'm running the Boxer 500 Colon Cancer Awarenes 5k this Sunday (12 Aug.)
