    I guess we are on the same boat.
    My goal is very broad, but I'm training to compete in inline speed skating at, at least, my country's national level. I've been training for over 300 days already. Getting to 365 in a month and a half or so.

    I've got a 50K in a month, and after that I'll be rolling into a training program for the Chicago Marathon, and a couple other fulls in the fall.

    I ran 3 5Ks last month, another one this Sunday. I'm really hoping to do all half marathons next year, but I just got back into running again in January. Hoping for 10Ks in the fall.

    Half marathon in October for me! Mostly focusing on fitness with a bit of weightloss thrown in for good measure :)
    Always happy to have more friends!

    I'm in the final 6 weeks of training for my first full marathon on June 15th.

    Then I'll be cutting down on the miles a bit and upping the strength training for a 6 KM 17 obstacle mud run on July 26th.

    I don't have anything planned for the fall yet in terms of organized races etc. But it doesn't mean I won't be running and showing my weights who is in charge.

    I'm training to finally do my first full century ride soon and to be able to average 18mph for my second MS 150 in October. My goal is to end the year with at least 2000 miles. I have some weight that I'm trying to drop, but I'm mainly focusing on endurance and lowering my body fat %. I'm also very nutritionally focused, and my diary is open. Always open to new liked minded friends :flowerforyou:

    I have my first duathlon on May 18. :smile:

    7.2 mile race that I do every year the first weekend of June.

    If I like it there's another one i want to do in July.

    I am also toying with doing a half marathon in October. I haven't done one since 2009

    Unfortunately all of my races will be done alone.Husband was training for the du also but he twisted his ankle and busted his toe. :grumble:

    I'm not 100% sure on the half marathon because training will be during the summer (read: FUN) time and my long runs will be on the weekend.

    First 10 mile race in October. Increasing long miles slowly to avoid/minimize knee pain. Up to a long run if 8.5 miles! Now to get there without two days of pain afterwards????

    Ice bath after the long runs. They suck balls but they make a huge difference.

    Me and my dog are doing a K9 5K in October! I'm almost able to run 3 miles and he can run circles around me but only runs about 1.5 miles because thats all I will let him do in the heat. Once it cools down though we will be training some more :) In the meantime I've been doing other random 5Ks and other workouts. I plan on getting a bike soon too!
