    My goal this year is to run 1500 miles and complete a half marathon or better every month......as of today I have 1004 miles in 2012.....I am on my way to my goal!!!

    So far this year I have completed 12 races:

    2 - 5K's
    1 -15K
    1 - Ten miler
    6 - Half Marathons
    1 - 30K
    1 - Full Marathon

    - Sweat = fat cells crying

    I have a couple of HMs coming up that I will treat as training runs. The two that I am building towards are the Dawn to Dusk circuit race on 25 August and then the Kaapsehoop (Mpumalanga, South Africa) marathon 3 November.

    I love reading about what others are up to:) I just started running about 6 months ago and have found that races keep me motivated -- especially given the heat/humidity we've had here in NC this summer!

    I've done 4 - 5K's and the Warrior Dash already this summer and have these lined up:

    8/25 - OrthoCarolina 10K
    9/15 - Hit the Brixx 10K
    9/29 - Tower of Terror 10-miler
    10/6 - Race for the Cure 5K
    10/14 - Kasey Kahne Foundation "5 Kahne"
    10/27 - Runway 5K
    11/17 - Color Run 5K
    11/22 - Turkey Trot 8K
    12/8 - Speed for Children in Need 5K
    12/15 - Reindeer Romp 5K
    1/20 - Tinkerbell Half Marathon
    3/24 - Spartan Sprint

    I'm still debating doing the Princess Half in February and also plan to hit up as many Disney races as possible next year since they are so much fun!

    I'm training for 1/2 marathon on December 1 - Houma Hearts and Soles 1/2 in Houma, LA.

    I originally picked it because it was 20 weeks from my then 20 week training plan.
    Yeahhhh due to procrastination I'm down to 7 weeks.

    Oh! Also I'm doing the Color Run!! In Houston on Nov. 11

    Just finished my first endurance trail run event. 25k, approximately 16 miles, in the beautiful Ozarks surrounded by amazing fall foliage. Holy cow it was SO HILLY and there were 14 creek crossings! But I finished it with minimal pain and placed in the top half of my division. I'll definitely take that for such a challenging first attempt at trail running.

    Next is the Fayetteville Half Marathon in early December. This one should be fine except for the fact that I'm vacationing for 2 weeks in the British Virgin Islands on a boat between now and then. That means not many opportunities for training and there will be lots of run. LOTS OF RUM! :happy: :drinker:

    December Pub run... We run 6-7 miles with stops at 5-6 bars, the last being a party that may go on forever and forever. Here's the best part..the money raised is given to the YMCA but they cant publicize the run at all(even though we start there) because of the adult nature..all very secretive...people at the Y on the run day always are asking who are all those runners and why they haven't heard about it beforehand.

    The race against life. Not official but one day I won't be able to run anymore so I'm running until I can't run anymore. It's an endless race it is but I like it. :D
