Excellent! I am running Tupelo on 9/1 and Chicago 10/13. I just moved to TN and looking for more races in this region.
I am also training for Chicago! Hope your training is going well!
maybe i'll manage to get over my strong dislike of Chicago and come cheer you all on
Do it!0 -
The Atlantic City Marathon in October 2020. 15 months should be plenty of time. ;-) I ran a half marathon in September 2017, kept in pretty good shape, but not running a lot. Plan on starting with a c2 5K program, graduating to a 10K program and up to a Marathon program by May of next year. Nothing wrong with running your first Marathon at 65 is there? That's my plan and I hope I can stick to it.1

Anyone running Erie Marathon?
Not sure if I posted this already but I'm in the middle of training for Erie on September 8th and then running Steamtown on October 13th.
Mid-summer training sucks!
A little setback for me this week as I pulled 'something' in my lower ab/groin area. Going to get it checked on Friday. Looks like Steamtown may be my shot at chasing Boston instead of Erie.1 -
Full on training for Superior, just 34 days until I toe the line!3

that looks like a fun and challenging race0 -
I'm thinking of running Richmond Marathon in November. I've started a 14 week plan (Pfitz's 12 week plan modified) and I'll see how it goes. I don't need to register for another month, so I have time to see how I handle summer training. I've never done a fall marathon because I don't handle heat at all well and I have limited tolerance for running every day on the TM.

Dewd - how is the groin injury?
I'm back to running but not back to marathon training. My miles before the injury were 50 per week. Last week I managed 14 (which is better than the 0's the previous 2 weeks
).
I'm going to Erie because we have more plans than just a race (several birthdays to celebrate). I've already backed out of Steamtown since I don't feel like I could give it a good effort. My new goal is Philadelphia in late November. If my training gets back on track I will sign up.
Good luck in Richmond.0 -
^^I should say I'm going to Erie but will not be racing. I 'may' run it (or maybe half of it) depending on how it goes the next 14 days.0

I'm new to the group and I just recently running. I started training to be able to run a half marathon in a couple of months. I figured that was a good goal to set for myself.5

Soldier Half Marathon in November here in Columbus, GA1

taper time. 8 days until Superior. After that, time to reevaluate what kind of crazy I want next year.5

Training for my first 5k.3

So I decided to give Erie a shot. I managed a good speed workout Wednesday, 15 miles on Saturday, and a short run this morning all without significant pain or issues. I hope the training I did in June and July is enough to get me through 26.2 miles and I don't end up injuring something else. But no one ever said that runners were the smart.
I've already pulled out of Steamtown and I'll decide if I want to take a BQ shot in either Harrisburg or Philly in November after I see if I survive Erie.0 -
Good luck!1

Now that I've finished my 5k this morning (those suck! I hate running that hard!) I'm training for the Loopet Loppet 12 hour trail race in Minneapolis next month. I ran this last year and finished with 42 miles. My goal this year is 50. I also ruptured a foot tendon in that race which required surgery and 3 months without running. My goal this year is for that not to happen again.0

Officially started training today for the Rosaryville Veteran's Day 50K! This will be my first ultra; I'm very excited but also a bit apprehensive haha

Oops! I forgot a race. This weekend is the Surly Trail Loppet and I'm running the half marathon. This will be my third year in a row and I'm in better shape than the first two times so hopefully I'll get a race PR. The race is on urban trails (mix of paved and dirt) in Minneapolis.0 -

Wow that year went fast, seems like a few weeks ago!0 -

There's not very many races where I live, so I think it's just going to be a personal half. I made it up to 16.7 km on my long run this weekend, so I should be on schedule to make it to the 21 km mark by November.0 -

Great progress. I'm certain you'll be there in October! Now to pick a destination race you can go to in the sprint and enjoy the atmosphere of an organised event. I promise you'll love it.1 -
I'd like to do my third marathon in the spring. Have entered the draw for London, but if that fails, then the Shakespeare marathon at Stratford Upon Avon is the same day and only 20 mins from home.
Did my first triathlon this year (Ironman 70.3) and will definitely do it again next year in June. I found that it helped my running, despite running a lot less, so winter will probably be spent trying to raise my FTP so I can get a PB in both.
It's good to have something to look forward to

sounds like a great plan to me!0 -
I only took uo running two years ago after beibg hopelessly un-sporty all my life. I've just finished the royal parks series (x 3 10k runs) and am signed up for the Olympic park 10k in December. Interested in any good shouts for races in and around Hertfordshire.1
