Wow, quite a few Chicago locals here! I'm running the Perfect 10 on 11/10 at Navy Pier and my husband and I have been debating the Hot Chocolate 15K in Chicago - it sounds fun but two big races two weeks in a row sounds a little rough.

Anyone doing the Schaumburg Turkey Trot HM?

Awesome, I have some friends doing the Perfect 10. Great finisher's medal! I feel the same about having races two weeks in a row, though!

I hadn't heard about the half turkey trot. I'm doing a 6 mile run Thanksgiving morning. (This will mean much less guilt about my overindulgence.)

Good luck at the Perfect 10!

I actually would like the hot chocolate hoodie better but the Perfect 10 is on my birthday so it seems a great way to make a day I otherwise hate, positive, and while hot chocolate looks like SO much fun I'd rather focus on the Perfect 10...I totally would have done the 5K but it filled up before I got a chance to register. I'm looking at that Women's half marathon now though - that looks like fun!

OH MAN. The Perfect 10 has a medal? I love running for the medals. I agree, what a great way to start off your birthday. I did an unofficial 6 miles on my birthday and it really set the day off right.

I am REALLY excited for the Women's Half, actually. My first half was last year's Chicago Rock N Roll, and while it was fun, I was really disappointed at my time. I'm hoping to do better in the upcoming year.

Still recovering from some IT band issues after my first marathon.

But gonna do
Holyoke Monster Dash 5K CC on the 27th love fall in New England!
76th annual Manchester CT thanksgiving day race, one of the great old races in America!
New Years day 10k
and maybe the Hyannis marathon in Feb.

Returning from injury so I'm going to miss my local 5 mile race on Thanksgiving but I do have plans for early 2013.

Miles for Miracles 5k (tune up race): 2/2/2012
Woodland's Half Marathon: 3/2/2012

Just turned 30 and my bad habits are starting to catch up with me so 2013 will be focusing on remaining injury free. On another note, I wish more 10k's were available.

Just signed up on Sunday!

Mississippi Blues Half Marathon! January 5, 2013.

Santa Shuffle December 1

Resolution Run December 31

Hypothermic Half Marathon January 25

All in Ottawa- I tend to stick close to home for the winter running season (which seems counter intuitive as winter in Ottawa is COLD)

For the 2013 season so far I've got:

Perth Kilt Run

Spartan Race (hopefully the trifecta this year!)

Army Run Half marathon

and Maritime Race weekend tartan twosome (5k one evening, marathon the next day) it includes pirates!

5k this morning! I won a turkey! LOL.

Just did the Monster Dash 10 mile last month (7 weeks post-partum), and then was able to do a turkey trot 5K last weekend in 26:23, which was only 30 seconds a mile slower than my PR for a 5k, so happy with this come back after baby. My half PR is a 2:05:47, so I hope to beat that and maybe even aim for a sub 2:00 half this coming year!!

Polar Dash 10k on New Year's day, Get lucky half marathon in March 2013, Med city half in May, Go commando in July, Women Rock half in August, maybe a Warrior dash in September, and Monster dash half in October. Most definitely will throw in some local 5 and 10ks throughout the year as well.
