Any other fellow Minnesotans running the Get Lucky 7k/Half Marathon in March?

I am running the half and picked up my race packet today. I am so excited!

    I am running the Get Lucky Half Marathon!

    I did not sign up in time for yesterdays pickup so I will be doing the Dec 31 pickup for that race and the Jan 1st Polar Dash 10k

    I ran my first ever 5k yesterday and was happy with my result so it is time for longer distances!

    I ran the Get Lucky in 2011 - it is still my PR Half Marathon to date. LOVED IT! I was pregnant this year but when they opened registration for 2013 the next week i signed up - figuring it would at least by my post-preggo goal. So here I am - DS is 6 months old and I am still struggling but my eye is on that Get Lucky. I too was busy this saturday so will be going to packet pickup on the 31st most likely. I looked up my bib and I registered so early i am #31! haha The half marathon distance is my favorite!!

    I just got my 2013 Running Journal in the mail! I am SOOOO excited!!!!

    fatman12lol - you will do great doing some shorter distances prior... are you following a training plan or just working it out on your own??

    I am brand new to running so I plan on following this plan to train for summer:

    I agree with you that some shorter races will help me as I progress so I will try to pick some more up between the Polar Dash on Jan 1st and the Get Lucky Half Marathon in March. I just have not decided which races yet...

    I hope to set a goal this week for my Jan 1st Polar Dash 10k. If my first 5k last weekend was 27:23 does 60:00 seem like a reasonable goal for my first 10k on January 1st?

    Thanks!

    If I can get my *kitten* in gear to do the Polar Dash 5k, I'll do the Get Lucky 7k. We'll see though. Mind over matter, right?

    I know you can do it! If you need another incentive.... The free fleece that they are giving away with registration for the Polar Dash is pretty nice.

    I'll be doing the 7k with a friend & some others from my work running club. I did it last year, it's a blast! I'm doing the 2013 Monster Series so I'm also signing up for Polar Dash 10k, Minneapolis Duathlon, Women Rock 10k, & Monster Dash 5k-9. Looking forward to it!

    Would love to, but a bit of a cold baby and March is still iffy on weather. Plan to do some running to get geared up for the summer though. Did my first 1/2 at the monster dash last year and a 10K at the women rock. Plan to do another race or two this summer.

    Last year it was in the 70's or so when I did the 7k of it! I would do it again, but they really messed up my registration and didn't get my hoody till JULY! And we registered too late so it was sooo expensive!

    Is March here yet? I am really excited for this race!

    Did you notice anyone running this barefoot last year? If not there is a (currently small but increasingly likely) chance you might this year!

    I didn't notice anyone running barefoot last year. Vibrams, lots of those. I wasn't really looking though.

    I signed up for the series as well and will be doing the women's rock (1/2) and the monster dash (1/2) and the get lucky triple 7... I did the 5k-9 a couple years ago and it was tons of fun!
