    I’m training for my first marathon in September. I have previously run 3 half marathons.

    Which marathon?

    Wineglass Marathon in NY

    Awesome! I'll be there too. It will be my first time running Wineglass.

    You talked me into it. Signed up for Wineglass today, but I don't expect to start a formal training cycle till June.

    Wineglass Marathon in NY

    I ran Wineglass a few years ago. Was perhaps the coldest race they've ever had. So cold the water cups froze and the GU gel blocks turned solid. I almost broke a tooth!

    I have a 10k in November that I'm already signed up for, and there is a 10k and a half that I am considering between now and then, but I am quite liking being able to run for the enjoyment of running instead of because I'm training for another race.

    I just completed my first full marathon on Saturday. The Ogden Marathon in Utah. It was amazing. I'm going to sign up for another one (Huntsville, also in Utah) in September. I have a 7 mile trail race in July and a half marathon in western NY in August. I'll just focus on overall health and fitness during June. I think. :)

    This afternoon I got a weird urge to try to set a PR in the 5K and 10K distances this summer. Summer is the off-season for me as far as long distance running, so I might as well go for something like that. I haven't run a paved 10K in 3 years. And that PR will be very easy to beat. The 5K will be a little bit challenging though, but I think I can do it with some targeted workouts.

    Right now, I'm training to nip incipient Achilles tendinitis in the bud. Once that's accomplished, I'll gradually transition into easy training for Wineglass Marathon on September 30. Given the time frame, finishing healthy is the goal. I don't expect a PR, even though it's an easier marathon course than I've ever run.

    @martadebskaa is that a Lublin marathon bib and finish line in your picture? If so, congratulations! I was there, too :) Best wishes on your ultra!

    My next race is the Silesian Highlands Half Marathon, also in Poland (Półmaraton Wyżyny Śląskiej) at the end of June. It will be my first longer-than-5k trail race.

    Long Beach Marathon. I was going to shoot for a 3:30 but I don't think I'll have enough time to train for that. I'll be happy to PR with a time less than 3:52 (2017 Vegas RnR).

    Training starts on Monday for Bridlington half marathon.

    Aparently it's a flat course so I'm hoping for a PB :bigsmile:

    I am training for my first half. I am doing the Rock and Roll San Antonio half and 5K in Dec. My goal is to just run the whole thing. Last month the most I had ever ran without stopping was 3 miles!

    My situation is almost identical, think my longest so far is around 4 miles and I've also signed up for my first half in December. Terrified but excited too :-D

    @notafatmommy I've done two RnR races and they were a lot of fun. Lots of crowd support, lots of cool music, and well organized.

    Not sure if I posted yet but training has 'officially' begun for Wineglass. I'm hell bent on hitting my target pace this year even if I hit the wall at the end. I won't know if I can do it until I try it. B)

    Training for my second marathon in October. Also just signed up for Red Bull Quicksand. Is only a mile course but is up some apparently brutal sand dunes so will be an interesting event
