    "Here's the elevation profile of the Half this Sunday:

    Promise, there is a hill. Well, sort of a hill! :-) "

    Isn'i the "hill" in the long Beach half just a bridge?

    "just a bridge" - it's a veritable mountain!

    :-)

    Yes, I suspect that's a bridge and I'll have a better idea when I scout the course on Saturday.

    All I got this month is a 5k -- the Runway 5k in Charlotte October 26th. Should be a cool race, though -- you literally run on a runway at the Charlotte airport. Hoping to PR but it looks like the course might be a little long, so it could be tough!

    That's a neat idea - running on a runway!

    "But officer — that's why they call it a RUNway!"

    I wanted to do that race but didn't have enough time to train after my vacation. Good luck!

    I am new to distance running! I'm running the Rock n Roll Brooklyn 10k tomorrow - it will be my longest distance so far. I'm contemplating training towards a half that will take place in early December. I have a program that seems reasonable, but I'm worried about over training.

    This thread makes me sad. All I have this month is a Halloween Sock Hop 5K my local running club is hosting on the 27th. Was supposed to have a FM on Sunday but it got cancelled due to a blizzard. Ugh

    Hugs. I was sad about that for you too.

    wow, look at all these races!!

    Hartford (CT, USA) Half tomorrow (9/12)! I will run a PR, because it's my first half. :o)

    Kind of a twisty route, with typical New England up and downs: http://www.hartfordmarathon.com/Assets/Hartford+Marathon/Maps+-+Mararthon/Map_2013HM_Half0828.pdf

    Anything under 2 hours will be fine, breaking 1:50 would a dynamite result.

    I'm running a 10-mile race at the Atlanta Marathon on 10/27. It's the last 10-miles of the marathon course and since it is Atlanta, you can count on lots of hills. This will be my longest race yet and I am hoping to finish at or under 90 minutes.

    Running Anthem Wicked 10k at Virginia Beach in two weeks. Don't there will be much elevation change as it is mainly along the beach and on the boardwalk, but I am super excited! I am not really shooting for a PR. This will be my first real race since the foot and the knee injury stuff over the summer.

    I have a Snow White running costume (complete with a tutu) and I spray painted an old pair of running shoes red with glitter! And even better, the husband is running it with me! :love: Of course he refuses to wear a costume. Oh well, I win some, some I lose!

    I am also running in the Long Beach Half Marathon on Sunday Oct 13th. It will be my very first run of any kind so I am not looking to set any PR I am just out to have fun and experience the event.
    I have actually trained on the course twice and its pretty nice and flat for the most part, there is a "hill" on a bridge but its nothing that is hard.
    I am looking forward to the event and the experience, while a little intimidated over the 15,000+ runners that are going to be there!!

    I've run that one half a dozen times. It's flat as a pancake. Just a bridge (you cross twice though :) )

    Baltimore Marathon on Saturday (10/12).

    Bib No. 3734

    Goal time is somewhere between 3:05 and 3:10.

    Course map with elevation profile (yes, the link says 2011, but it is the correct course map).

    Heading to the expo today to pick up my packet.

    3:10:45, a new PR by 90 seconds on a tough course.
