    Which 1/2 are you doing in Feb? I am doing the Finnish Breast Cancer in Jacksonville FL. It is a full and a half and I've done each in previous years. Fun race, lots of energy.

    I'm running Los Angeles in mid March. It will be my 26th marathon, still trying to figure out whether or not I like the distance...

    I'm thinking of doing a full marathon in the summer, perhaps a half-marathon in the spring. I haven't decided yet. What are folks' time goals and weekly mileage?

    I may do a HM in the spring. I will do a 10 miler in March. It will be my 4th consecutive year running it. I may run a full in the Fall, but I'll make that decision closer to mid summer.

    Doing the Rock 'n' Roll marathon in DC March 16. It will be my first, but I'm hoping for a 4:00 finish. Longest training run has been 20 miles, and I'm now doing long runs every other week and bumping up my midweek mileage. Just signed up for a half marathon in Amelia Island January 19, and I'm planning to run to the start (approx 6mi.) Feel free to add me!

    Louisiana Marathon (Jan 20, will be my first full)
    Rock n Roll half in DC (March 16)
    North Face Trail Marathon, Bear Mtn NY (May 4)

    After that, we'll see. The Disney Wine & Dine Half in November sounds like fun. Or may try to get into the Nike Women's Marathon in San Francisco.

    I am running the Quintiles full marathon on St Patricks Day in Wilmington NC, this will be my 2nd full. I am looking for some others in training to share journey with ! 12 weeks to race day ! My goal was a sub 3:30, but had a detour in December as I was diagnosed with Colo-Rectal cancer. Missed 3 weeks of running over the holidays and gained some.

    Back on the training plan this week and hoping to drop some weight and try to make my goal. But may not be realistic wtih 3 weeks off and 10 lbs added. But good to have goals !

    I live in MN, we are expecting temps in the 20's in the next few days, will be nice to run in the warmth !

    I have a 56 km ultra coming up in March. It will be the furthest I have ever run, so a bit (okay a lot) nervous as it is a tough course as well.
