    I'm doing the Air Force half marathon in Dayton, OH in September. My first one! If it goes well I'm going to try my hand at the Pittsburgh Marathon (or half) next year, because I'm originally from around there.

    Running the New River half in May. Very excited! Each Sunday run makes me feel a little more confident in accomplishing this.

    1/2 marathon in late may which is part of my training for a full marathon (my first) in late July at the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon.

    Tough Mudder in June. Spartan sprint in august, 1/2 marathon in October and hopefully the spartan super and spartan BEAST for the trifecta.

    Lots of 5ks a few 10ks and hopefully the color run;

    Wow, I'm never going home on the weekends once the sun starts staying up past 5pm

    Ran the Hypothermic Half last Sunday and am signed up for Ottawa Race Weekend Half-Marathon in May (hoping to beat 2hrs....).

    As one of my favourite duathlons in October has been cancelled this year I'm looking for a race to finish my season......

    These will be both be my first official races at these distances.

    3/30/2014, Run for the Border Half Marathon, http://www.easternstates20mile.com/
    5/11/2014, Maine Coast Marathon, http://www.mainecoast262.com/

    active.com is pretty limited with its races and affiliations at least in my area. Plenty of resources if you web search or check with local running clubs.

    I am running my very first marathon in March in indiana, then another in May. If all goes well, I plan to do another in September, and close out the season in November. In between there I may do a few halves in my off marathon months.

    Not really a marathon, but I want to do my first tough mudder in October. Something to look forward to for not only weight loss, but being fit.

    I finish the Bataan Memorial Death March a couple times. I wish I could afford to do it every year but it seems like I only get the chance to go every other. I know it isn't running but marching 26.2 miles with a 35 lb pack is not for the faint of heart.
