Weekend racers, come in!

What's everyone racing?

I'm doing a local 10 miler on Sunday, this is actually my first ever 10 miler, so yay, automatic PR!

Good luck everyone!

Re: Weekend racers, come in!

  • I'm doing a half marathon on Sunday. I'm hoping for a PR. I was on a very long streak of getting slower for the past several half marathons. THe last half  I did my time dropped quite a bit but still not a PR. This will be the second time doing this race so I'll even take a course PR. I've been running much more than I have for the last several halfs so I'm hoping it pays off!!

     

    Good luck everyon!

  • I am running a half marathon on Sunday.  I won't call it a race for me since my body doesn't allow me to "race" these days.  It will be another race I can add to the baby's list though! 

    So far she has done an ultra (50K), a marathon, a 10K, two 4 miler's, a 5K and now a half marathon.  She will be born with running shoes on her feet. lol!

  • I am running a 5mile leg for a relay team at a local 10 mile race.  My brother is doing 2 miles and my SIL is doing 3 miles.  This is their first race ever and my longest distance in a race.  Really hoping it does not rain!!

    Good luck everyone!

  • I'm running a 10 miler on Sunday.  It's a St. Paddy's Day race but there are specific instructions that no costumes are to be worn LOL!  Apparently this race is uber competitive which explains why everyone shot off the line at lighting speed last year!

    I totally bonked on this race last year (from getting caught up in the fast start) so I'm hoping for a better performance this time around.

  • i might be racing...i have to work at an Exterra event and supposedly they are comping it but I am not sure if arrangements will be made by Sunday.  I am fine either way, there is a 13 miler and 5 miler...I would do the 5.

  • I'm planning to run my first post knee surgery 5K with my little sister tomororw morning!  That said, my SIL is due with our baby niece today so depending on her arrival (she has not yet gone into labor) I may or may not still race?  WWH&FD?  Maybe I'll make a post of this..
  • I'm running the Hot Chocolate 15k on Sunday morning in San Diego. It's supposed to rain but hopefully it will hold off until the afternoon!
  • I'm only about halfway through C25K, but I signed up for a 2-mile race tomorrow. I haven't done any races since a 5K in 2008, so I'm excited! Smile

  • I'm running a half marathon tomorrow. It's my only one this spring (due to several conflicts with travel) and I've only been training kind of half-assed. Several of my running buddies are running it too -- mostly as a training run for a marathon next month -- so I'll have company on what will be a boring course. I'm not sure what to expect, pace-wise... my PR is 1:55, and I'm going to shoot for 2:00 in this one, but that may be a bit ambitious given where I am in my training right now.

    Good luck, y'all!

  • I'm doing a 10k on Sunday--the same race that really kicked me back into running last year.  I know it'll be a course PR, but I'm running this race with friends (a first for me), and I'm not sure what our pace will be, so it may or may not turn into an actual PR.  It's a big fun crazy race though, I'm excited to do it again!
  • I am running a local 5k that was my very first race last year. I am hoping for a PR and a placement at least in age group. When I looked at last year's results earlier today I realized I placed 2nd in my age group and didn't even know it!
  • Me me me hm this weekend, just hoping for a course PR
