Anyone else training for a race this summer? I started my Nike 12 week training schedule this week. My goal is to get a PR (personal record) and lose 25 pounds by race day, 7/31/16!
I'm going to have awesome 12 week before and after pictures. : )

    Great to hear you're training for a race! Kick some butt!

    I have a dozen coming up! Next one is a 50k on June 4.

    Those are good goals, you can do it!

    I am also signed up for a half in July. It's my first, and I am terrified!

    Either goal sounds feasible.



    Both, well, probably not so much.

    Got a couple of 5k and 10k races coming up. Thanks to injuries, I've not done a 10k since 2012, so I'm really looking forward to this one. It's the Tufts Women's 10k in Boston and it's always a great atmosphere. I'm a super-slow runner, so I'm not after a PB or anything. I'll just be happy to finish.

    I'm toying with getting back into doing half-marathons, but keep bottling it.

    I just ran a half marathon last weekend, have my first full marathon in June, and am running a 10k in August.

    Have fun and good luck!

    This will be my 5th half. My goal is to run a race in all 50 states. I've run in 6 states so far.
