There is an amazing group of people out there who are putting on 13 in 2013. You pick 13 races to complete in the year 2013. If you want to be a part of it, check it out:

This will lead you to all the links. I joined and it's super motivating; I don't like wishing time away but I can't wait for the 1st of the year to get this thing started!!

One of the best parts of this is that virtual races count! Which means you can do them on your own time and a lot of the time they're free.

I hope to see you out there!

    I'm still developing as a runner and have only done one 5K in my life, so I don't think I'm up to the task just yet, but I just had to check in and say - - nice tat!! What a gorgeous piece of art you have. +1 internets to you.

    Hmm, I'll think about this!
    I'm a runner but not a racer. Only because I've never really tried before.
    I did the color run but I went with my friend who wanted to walk the whole time.

    I would love to do more races this year, but unsure about 13! But if several of them are virtual, I might be able to swing it. I suppose signing up can only motivate me, so....here goes! :bigsmile:

    It doesn't matter if you don't "race." They are technically called races because there are some people who actually care about times and such, but those people train all year and are way serious about winning. The rest of us do it for fun! No pressure, just running :) The vibes are awesome with all the runners out there, you'll have a great time! I've NEVER regretted a race I've signed up for!

    I never thought I would call myself a runner but I began in July 2012 when I found a group called Black Girls Run and this group has been so inspirational and motivating. I went from not having ever ran to using C25K to help me get started. I completed C25K on 08/30/12 and ran the first race (5K) of my life on 09/16/12. Since then I have completed 3 more 5k's, 1 10k and on Saturday my first half marathon. I think I can call myself a runner. I have already started looking at 2013 races and have 3 already paid for so this will be a nice challenge. Thank you for posting.
