Running the Sandy Point Half Marathon which is along a bay road in Melbourne, AUS on Sunday the 21st. Last taper run is tomorrow. It's meant to be 15C and raining on the day1
-
32K on Saturday, Resort to Rock.1
-
Another 3.5 mile cross country race on Saturday. Still training through, this early in the season, so I don't expect greatness.0
-
East Farm Frolic 12 hour tommorow as a solo runner. I don't normally do the charity thing, but as it's my first Ultra I thought I'd support Combat Stress, the veterans mental health charity.
This arrived in the post yesterday:

Picked up the packet today for the Oak Tree Half on Sunday. For a $48 entry fee, got both a tech shirt and a pint glass, plus a jar of organic almond butter for being in the first 200 to pick up (or first 200 registered, I'm not sure how they measure.) I have a chance at another jar of organic nut butter by winning the age group. For reference, I'd pay $11 for the Wegman's brand of the same nut butter. Pricey, so I prefer to get the nut butter from races I wanted to run anyway.

I'm running on Thursday.
Is a 6 hour challenge run themed around Star Trek as is the 50th anniversary.
Plan to see how far I can get in the 6 hours, hoping my first marathon, but as long as I beat my current record i'm happy.2 -
Harrisburg Half on Sunday.
Although this is just a training run for my fall marathon, I'll still give it a good effort. After running 20 miles on Monday, speedwork tonight, and 8 more on Friday I doubt I'll set any records, but ya never know....1 -

Shields up! Trans-warp drive ready and even a tractor beam if you need a little pull at the end! Live long and prosper!2 -
I'm doing a 10K this weekend, and hoping to set a PR. Which is very do-able, since I haven't done very many 10Ks and have sucked in all of them. Heh. Until recently, it's always been my least favorite distance.2

Air Force Marathon tomorrow. This will be my second. I was hoping to beat my previous time, but it's going to be a little warmer than I had hoped, so I don't know if that will happen.1
-
Trail 10K tomorrow. I've only done a couple of trail races, just hoping to get through it without tripping over a rock!1
-
Rochester Marathon tomorrow. It will be my third marathon. The primary goal is to manage the race well and finish in good shape. Forecast for gun time is 68° F (20° C), cloudy, and 95% humidity. It likely won't be a PR. I don't need it to BQ for 2017, and BAA has not yet announced the qualifying window for 2018. But I expect that today was the start of the 2018 qualifying window, so that will kind of be in the back of my mind. Don't want to be *too* slow. Then again, I'll have another shot at qualifying for 2018 next April.1

Running the Wild Hog Marathon in Grand Forks North Dakota come September 24, 2016.0
-
Sunday, September 25, Franklin Lakes NJ Half Marathon. My first.1
-
Boundary Waters Bank Half Marathon in Ely MN. Going to go for a PR, and hopefully a BIG PR1
-
Running the Carrboro (Paris of the Piedmont) 10K on Saturday 10/2. Looking to go sub-50 for the first time in a long time to qualify for the sub-50 group at the Cooper River Bridge Run in Charleston next April. Running the Inaugural Historic Hillsborough Half Marathon in Hillsborough, NC on Sunday, October 2nd. Running as practice for the Venice Marathon on 10/23 at MP rather than at HM Pace.1

Running my 1st HM on Saturday, Oct 1st. I feel good about it, but a tad nervous about the hills. It's a smaller race, which I'm very glad about.
@STrooper ...Best wishes in your getting your sub-50 time!!1 -
@BeeerRunner - And good luck to you on your first HM. Remember, as I say in my profile.
"Do not try to overcome the hill...that is impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth. There is no hill.Then you will realize that it is not the hill you overcome, it is only yourself."0 -
@STrooper ... Thanks for the tip!! I think I'll add this to one of my various running mantras, and I'll use it when overcoming myself on hills... "There is no hill...there is no hill..."0
