Anyone running a race this month?

I'm doing my first of any of this on October 22nd! It's a 1k walk/5k run for PanCan Austin. It's the Purple Stride event supporting pancreatic cancer research. I can't wait!!!! My daughter and I are participating.

Half Marathon in Des Moines, IA on October 16th
Half Marathon in New Orleans, LA on October 29th -- my birthday- I always wanted a race shirt with my birthday on it Now I just have to find a "happy birthday" tiara -- shouldn't be too hard!

Good Luck to all in your upcoming races and CONGRATS to all who already kicked some butt running your races! I have a 5k on 10/23 followed by a 15k on 11/6 a 4 mile hills race on Thanksgiving and a Jingle Bell Run 5k on 12/17. I'm training to do a half in the Spring 2012...I think!

Good luck to all who are running this weekend hope your training has gone well and your have a PR this weekend

Thanks! I'm pretty nervous and keep reading and re-reading and re-reading the tips in AZTrailRunner's sig :P

I am running a half marathon on November 6th!

I have another one tomorrow!

I'm very likely doing a 5k tomorrow. Unless I wake up feeling like poop. I've been fighting a cold.

Hope you feel great tomorrow, good luck!!

Thanks! I kicked bootie! I didn't win anything (I'm probably the only woman in the world who WANTS to turn 40.... It'll be nice being the youngest instead of oldest in my age group! Too much competition in the 30-39 group!), but I beat my PR by 30 seconds and came in at 24:59!

Not bad considering I only started running 10 months ago.

I'm running my first 10k today. I'm excited! Any other runners, please feel free to add me. Good luck on your runs!

Ran my 2nd half marathon on Oct 2nd (2:23:05), a 5 minute PR.
Running my 3rd half marathon (mostly for fun) on Oct 29th.

Finished my first 10k in 1:03:10. That's an 10:11 min/mi. My previous PR for min/mi was 10:33 during a 5k. Now I'm looking for a spring half marathon to run.

I have my very first race, a 10K, on October 23rd. Finished my longest training run today, 6 miles, so I'm psyched for the 23rd to get here.

Just added a costumed 5K for Cystic Fibrosis on October 28th. I'll be running it with a bunch of friends from high school who still live in town. It's going to be a blast!

Ran the 10K this morning in just under 1:16. Not too bad considering we're still having temps in the 90s here and the race didn't start until 8:30. It was WARM. What a great event! It's held at the Univ. of Arizona, the charity is the Arizona Cancer Center and it honors Bobbi Olsen, the wife of Lute Olsen, the former UA basketball coach, who died of breast cancer about a decade ago.

Still have the costumed 5K this Friday night and now another 5K on Sunday morning. I'm going to be beat on Monday. :laugh:

We're also adding a 5K Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning and possibly another 10K in December.

Great run! I truly admire you for being able to run in heat like that. It always kills me.

Have fun with your two 5ks!! They sound like a lot of fun!
