    I'm running NYC Marathon in November. It will be my second marathon and my second time running the NYC Marathon!


    I'm running NYC too :smile: So excited. It'll be my 6th marathon, 1st NYC though...

    I'm running NYC as well! For the second time!

    I will be eventually. I plan on getting at least 2 under my belt before IMAZ 2013.

    Which races are you looking at?

    You can't go wrong with LA.

    I'll be running one on October 14th. The Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon in Toronto. This will be my second time running it.

    LA, OC or Surf City in some combination. Any good ones you would recommend around July/August?

    I'm running my first full Sept. 30th, the Smuttynose Rockfest Marathon in Hampton Beach NH. I just started running last summer and ran my first race last September (5K), since then a few more 5k's a 10k and 2 Halfs. Not looking for a great time in the full just want to finish. I am self training following Cool Running's beginner marathon plan, so far so good (if only it would cool off a little outside). I am open to any advice and would be more than happy to have some beginner marathon friends so feel free to add me.

    I'm running my 6th full marathon on September 23 - Fox Cities Marathon in Appleton, WI. It's going to be a "fun run" for me - I'm pacing my mom for her first marathon and it falls the day before her 50th birthday. I'm already debating what to put on a sign to carry along with me so people can cheer her on.

    I'm farther out. January I'm running the goofy challenge. Saturday a half and Sunday a full. Just getting started with training and trying to get my diary cleaned up! I'm a slow runner but run so I can finish!

    I'm running the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon on November 3rd. It will be my first full marathon, I ran my first half there last year. I just started my training this week.

    Add me if you like.

    SF is the only call in July/August. But I think it might be early next year (mid June?) for some reason.

    LA is much better course than the other two (IMHO).

    I'm doing the SilverStrand in SD in November. I'm super nervous. I have always ran intervals and never long distances. I've been traing for 3 months now. So far so good. We shall see.

    i have been reading these posts and now i am getting worried...
    idk if i signed up (and paid) for the right MARATHON...
    there are TWO in INDY within a few weeks of each other...
    the Indy on i signed up for is different that what everyone is talking about ...mine is Oct 20th...

    has anyone run this one?
    its my first full in a VERY long time
    my training is somewhat shotty right now, am slowly loosing MOTIVATION (ran a half a few months back, the PIG)

    anyway, any inspiration would be awesome
