    I have a half in 20 days :noway: eeekkkk!!!!! Feb. 2
    Another one on May 4th.
    Maybe a couple of 5 or 10ks in between, and I might be thinking of doing a couple more races later in the year. I need to get past these 2 halfs first.

    I have a 10 miler in April. I want to do another half also, but what with graduating college and moving to a new place (hopefully) to start a job (gulp), I'm not sure when/where that will work out to be.

    My race schedule for the year:

    Vancouver Half Marathon - May 2014
    Seattle Rock and Roll Half Marathon - June 2014
    Goodlife Fitness Victoria Half or Marathon (Probably half) - October 2014

    I've done one HM before and didn't train too much - just aimed "to finish." This year I've been building up a mileage base and hope to train more consistently this spring. I hope to finish Vancouver under 2h. We'll see!

    So far I've got a half in Arizona next month and the North Olympic Discovery Half here in WA in June on my calendar. I believe those are half marathons #21 and #22.

    I'm doing the Philly Rock 'n Roll Half in September (HM #7 for me) and then the Philadelphia Marathon in November (my first full).

    I'll probably pick up a spring/early summer half to check where I am in my training, but I haven't decided yet.

    Training for my first HM in March. Limassol Cyprus HM supposed to be really good for a beginner as it's flat along the seafront and shouldn't be too hot in Cyprus in March.

    My first Full Marathon is Lake Placid in June! I might race a 1/2 while training and there is a really nice 1/2 in Saratoga in September! I don't race too much because of the costs!

    I will aim to do around 12+ races this year. I have already signed up to 3 10k races, a HM and and a marathon and know of about 6-7 more that I will definitely sign up for later in the year.

    I am! I live in South Korea at the moment. Plan to do another half before I move from here. I am also training for something called a "climbathon". It's a run/hike through the mountains. It's approximately 10 K and it's in April.

    Feel free to add me!

    I'm training for a half. And then my second full.

    I'm pretty much always training for a half, but I like races and seeing new places.

    I'm coimng abck from 2 months off at this point. (Off running, not training in general)
