I have one 5k or 10k a month planned plus doing my first half marathon in April.0

looking forward to my 5k end of april i did this 1 year ago my first 5k so it will be nice to see the change after 1 year of running0

I have a 5 K nest weekend, a 5 miler next month and a 10 miler in May on the books so far. I will probably also do a 10 mile beach run that almost killed me last year and then a 1/2 marathon in the fall.
I aim for 1 organized event per month and I run them with a group of great girls that are all super fit and faster than me. Keeps me motivated and accountable. Good luck!0 -

I started C25k in January of last year and ran my first 5k on St. Paddy's Day.
This year so far is shaping up to be:
Sandy Hook Memorial Virtual Half Marathon (ran 1/5/13)
Walt Disney World Half Marathon - 1/12/13
Wellsprings 5k -3/23/13
Garden Spot Half Marathon - 4/6/13
Philadelphia Broad Street Run 10 Miler - 5/6/13
Nita's Run 5k - 5/20/13
Revolutionary Run 10k - 7/4/13
Cap't Bill Gallagher 10 Mile Beach Run - 8/3?/13
Tim Kerr 7 Mile Island Run - Labor Day
Bird-In-Hand Half Marathon - 9/7/13
Philadelphia Rock 'n Roll Half Marathon - 9/15/13
Philadelphia Half Marathon - 11/17/13
I'm sure there will be assorted other 5k's and a few more Halves this year. I've decided that 2013 is the year of the 13 miler for me before I move up to try a full next year.0 -
Just completed Ragnar Relay Keys.
Next up-
Calhouns 10 miler Knox, TN
Strawberry Plains half - TN
Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon 2 person relay, Knox, TN
Flying Pig Marathon - Cinnci
There will be other races this year including Ragnar Relay TN in the fall.0 -
I'm eyeing my first half for end of next month. Gauging if I think I can up my mileage safely.
March 16th 10k trail run
May 11th Mermaid half
That's all I have right now but I'm sure more will come up.0 -
5K Glow Run in April
Dam to Dam in May - they have a 5K and a half marathon. I've only done a couple organized 5K's in my life so I'm not sure I'll be mentally prepared for the half marathon. Registration's not open yet so I have awhile to think about it.
My goal is to do at least 1 organized race every month that has at least 1 day without snow on the ground. Around here that's probably April to November but I might try to do one in March.0 -
Shooting for the Capitol 10K in April and 5K as part of a triathlon in May0
-
I've done 2 zombie runs (5Ks) the last 2 Octobers, and was eaten by zombies both times (lost both flags). I'm training early this year to get a jump on the walking dead. I'm doing the Nashville Zoo Run 5K on January 26 and the Nashville Color Run 5K on March 30. And I may do the Mule Day 5K in Columbia, TN in April, mainly for the shirt.0

Local 5k for the Make a Wish foundation on March 16!! My fiance and I are so excited!!0
-
This Spring i have a Trail Half Marathon. I'm fired up for it cause it will be the second time i have ran this race and i can race myself:) (plus this is the start of the 2013 race season for me!!!) So far i have like 5 races planned.

-
Early spring for me
1/26 Color Run
3/23 morning MDA Muscle Walk with my son
3/23 evening Neon Run0 -
I did two 5k's last year, after I did the couch to 5k in the spring.
So far, I'm only signed up for a quarter marathon in May.
However, I'm hoping to sign up for at least one 5k before that.
Also, plan (and hope) to do a half in the fall, probably with some 5-10k's thrown in between.0 -
My first race of the year is the Rock & Roll 1/2 Marathon in DC in March. I did it last year and it was a lot of fun. I'm a slow back of the packer following Galloway's run/walk method so I like the bigger races like this.0
-
I started couch to 5k June 2012. First 5k in October. In February 2013 I have a 10k, and May 2013 I have a half marathon planned. (both are firsts for me)0

Bay to Breakers! Last year I walked it. This time, I'm hoping to jog at least parts of it & racewalk the rest :-)0

Me too (keeping the list in mind, I'm in the Worcester, MA area)
I've only got the BAA 5k planned. I wanted to do the Wrentham Duathlon too, but it's the same day as the BAA race0
