  • I'm doing C25K right now, I'm on week 3. I'm planning to continue on to the C210K and run a 10K in March. After that I will move into a half marathon training plan and run a half in either June or September (or both). I've done several half marathons and a 25k, but it's been nearly 3 years since I've done more than an 10k.…
  • I'll add mine, my goal is to run at least one half marathon this year. I haven't done a half since June 2016 due to multiple injuries and a serious lack of motivation. I just started running again after another long break due to a stress fracture in my foot. I'd like to run either the Charlevoix half in June or the Holland…
  • Not registered for anything yet, but plan on running a 10K in Hilo, HI in March then a half either in summer or fall. It’s been 3 years since my last half. Maybe Charlevoix, Holland, or Grand Rapids (all MI), whatever doesn’t conflict with my husband’s marathons. He will be finishing his 50 states in September!
  • Aww, I miss my running partner! I used to run with my golden, but stopped taking him when he was about 12. We never ran very far or fast, but I didn't want to do anything that might hurt him. Old age got the best of him last spring, at 17 he had a good long life. We are nearly ready for another dog, and of course I want…
  • I have had classic skis for years and tried skate two years ago. I rented the first few times, then ended up buying skate skis last winter. The ones recommended by our local shop are closer to your second option - definitely not beginner skis, more ones that I will "grow into" as my technique improves. No regrets, though -…
  • 10k race tomorrow morning. Friday it was 70 and beautiful, at race time it will be 30 with 20 mph winds gusting to 40 mph. We got our first snow today, too. I haven't trained much due to an injury, and I haven't run in the cold yet this year. This will be interesting! Feel free to add me, I'd love more runner friends!
  • Another vote for Moving Comfort. I have their Maia, Fiona & Rebound Racer models. Recently bought a VS model, and discovered that after 3 miles that it got incredibly uncomfortable.
  • I have two half marathons coming up. Gazelle Girl (Grand Rapids, MI) on 4/17 and Casper, WY on 6/5.
  • My husband has a Black Diamond Storm headlamp, and it is much better than the cheap one I use. There's lots of options for reflective gear, I have seen some nice jackets, hats, etc that have an all-over reflective pattern. I have a small red blinking light that I clip on my back when running in the dark, I think it's made…
  • I'll send a FR. Anyone else is free to add me too! I prefer half marathons, but I'm slower than middle of the pack. Right now I'm sidelined due to an injury but hope to start running again soon.
  • Feel free to add me! I have a half on Sunday, and then another on 10/18 followed by a few shorter races in November. Then I'll switch gears and go to cross country ski racing for the winter. I will be doing another half in April and a 25k in May.
  • Not sure what my plan is for after my half on 9/20, so I'll start with a goal of 80 miles and I may increase it later.

  • @shangates92 - no, the Humboldt Redwoods Half. I'm really excited about it! We visited there several years ago and I can't wait to go back, it's one of the most beautiful places I've been.

  • Feel free to add me. I have 2 half marathons this fall - Sept 20 & Oct 18, plus some shorter races in Nov.
  • Hilarious!!! Actually, I love winter running. I would rather have cold and snow than heat and humidity. One of my best 5k's was in February, air temp was -10F, wind chill was -30. My hands get HOT when running, there were only 2 times last winter where I didn't have bare hands at some point (I make sure I have a pocket for…

  • Congrats! I couldn't imagine running that long, and around a track too - amazing!
  • Congratulations - what an accomplishment!

  • I run outside all winter too, and chesirecatastrophe summed it up very well. I live in Michigan, and do more winter races than summer ones. For me the worst thing is the wind, I live in a very rural area and it's almost all farmland, so there's no escaping the wind. I would recommend a lightweight wind resistant jacket.…
  • Running group trail run last night followed by a cookout and sunset over the bay. What a great evening! 8/1 - 9 miles 8/2 - 4 miles 8/4 - 3.2 miles 8/5 - 4 miles 8/6 - 2.5 miles 8/8 - 6 miles 8/9 - 3 miles 8/12 - 4.5 miles

  • @WhatMeRunning - great ogre pic! 8/1 - 9 miles 8/2 - 4 miles
  • In for 90 miles this month, getting ready for half marathons in September & October (and possibly November). If things go well I may try for 100. @kristinegift - I start off with a cutback week too! I'll get a ticker set up soon. 8/1 - 9 miles
