    I have a TON of respect for anyone who would even try this. I can't even wrap my brain around running that far Good luck!

    I'm actually training for a relay run, the Colorado Ragnar, set for the weekend of September 6th-7th. My first relay, actually, so I'm pretty stoked.

    how about you?

    Doing a themed 5k for your first one sounds so great! I'm doing my 4th 5K on Saturday, then another the Sunday after that...

    Then gearing up for ... yes, I think I am, haven't signed up quite yet but .... my first 1/2 Marathon in October.

    Best of luck to all of you in your upcoming races (especially those of you taking on a distance for the first time)!

    I've got a half coming up in September (my 3rd) in VA and a full in December in Sacramento (my 2nd... hoping for a PR with a stretch goal to BQ)!

    Happy running! :flowerforyou:

    I'm running a local 5k on August 24th. It will be my second 5k but first that I'll have an official time! My first was Color me Rad last month.

    I'm also flying to Denver to do the Foam Fest 5k with a friend on September 21st.

    That's on my list to do next year. It looks like such an amazing experience. I have a friend who did it and had nothing bad to say about it. Have a blast!


    I recently signed up for my first half. It is in late March, so I have a while. But I finish C25K tomorrow.... So I need all the time I can get. Hopefully I can find sone 5ks and10ks along the way for practice and confidence boosters.

    I finally signed up for my first 5k this coming October (electric run Boston), but I'm working towards upping my distance to start some 10k's in the future.
