    :bigsmile: What races are you running in this summer? Working on my race schedule which includes the Colorado Rockies Homerun for the Homeless, the BolderBoulder and Warrior Dash. Any suggestions???

    I want to do the BolderBoulder, but I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the $50.00 entry fee...I mean come on $50 for a 10k? And you don't even get a tech shirt for that!

    BUT, I grew up in the Boulder area and always wanted to do it throughout school but never managed to get my butt in shape to do it. Now I could do it no problem, so I really want to finally....I guess I just need to suck it up and pay for it...(and I want my hubby to do it too, so it's really $100.00 for the both of us)..running gets expensive!!

    Other than that, I'm planning to do the Black Canyon Ascent (6 miler) on May 18th, and the Georgetown to Idaho Springs HM on August 10th. Definitely want to do a few more, but haven't picked any yet!!

    THINKING about doing the Boulder Marathon in September...but definitely still a "thinking" as it would be my first!!

    EDIT: Just to say, I live on the west slope, but love the Boulder area, hints the races there (grew up in Broomfield)! Would love to add some Colorado friends!!

    I'm a triathlon junkie. Was going to do the USAT Age Group National Championships (Olympic-length) in Madison because I qualified but it's just too expensive. Maybe another time.

    The majority of these races are sprint-length. Already have three indoor races done this year and have a 10K this weekend (I hate running).

    5/4 - Siouxperman Triathlon
    5/11 - Pieathlon Triathlon
    5/25 - North Star Triathlon
    6/8 - Marathon to Marathon - 1/2
    6/9 - Accel Triathlon (maybe)
    6/15 - Runnin' with the Law Triathlon
    6/23 - Copper Creek Triathlon
    6/30 - Bob McCartan Memorial Scholarship Triathlon
    7/4 - Ride/Run (duathlon with a partner)
    7/13 - Expand Your Horizons Triathlon
    7/20 - Okoboji Triathlon
    8/3 - Perry Sprint Triathlon
    8/10 - Panther Pride Triathlon
    8/17 - Storm the Lake Triathlon
    9/1 - Hy-Vee Triathlon (Olympic)
    9/7 - LeMars Triathlon

    I am doing my first ever 5K April 13. Its the local Shriners Shuffle 2K/5K Run/Walk..

    I talked my son into doing it with me. We are going to do the 5K.I am sure it will be more walking than running, But at least I can say I did it. I am nervous though.

    I'll be doing my first race ever this spring!

    5/11 - Color Run

    Can't wait! I used to be the last kid in school to finish the mile waaaay last. I've been training on the treadmill with an incline (2.0 @ 6.2 mph for 25 min straight through), so we'll see how this goes. :)

    Harlan Hustle 5k - April 20th (my first ever race)
    Color Me Rad - May 11th
    Glow Run - August 17th

    I am hoping to hit a 10k at some point. Right now just trying to run a full 5k (almost there :) )

    Last year at this time I wouldn't have even considered running...let alone running a 5k or more. I know it's not a big deal for many people...but it is a HUGE deal for me. :)

    Right on! Sounds like a NSV to me!
