Weekend Racers, c'mon in!

What's everyone racing this weekend?

I'm running the Frederick Half on Sunday, but they also have a 5k the night before, and I'm running that too.  You get a special "Nut Job" medal if you finish both races :)

Good luck everyone!

Re: Weekend Racers, c'mon in!

  • Broad Street 10 miler! I am nervous because I was in a car accident last weekend and had to skip my last run and I am still a little messed up in my back. Hoping for the best!

     

    Good Luck everyone!

  • Omg, I actually get to post here! This is my first race ever.

    I'm running the Pittsburgh Marathon 5k (that's what it is called, which is confusing as all hell) on Saturday morning. I am super excited. My goal is to finish, but my secret goal is to finish faster than my DH finished his first 5k :)

     Good luck to everyone else racing!  

  • Congrats to the first-timers!!

     

    I'm running the Colorado Marathon on Sunday, and I get to meet taratru. :D Feel sorry for her, ok? I'm a hyper nut on race day.

  • I'm a lurker but I'm running my first ever Broad Street too! I'm terrified but as long as I finish and don't get picked up by the slow bus I'll be proud!

  • I considered the nut job. Maybe next year. I'm running the Frederick Half. Shooting for a course PR. When I ran 2 years ago, I puked and rallied to a 1:48. 5 years ago I ran a 2:10. As long as I don't puke again I should be golden :) I do plan to have a couple beers or margaritas tomorrow (Caps game and Cinco de Mayo/my anniversary!), so the puking isn't a far off possibilty, hah! The weather looks good (for May), and the 7am start will be nice. DH has different thoughts on the early start though. He is running a half for the first time in 5 years. Yay DH!

    Good luck, ladies!

  • Also running Broad street on Sunday!  I ran this race 3 years ago, it was my first race ever!  I went with the mantra - slow and steady wins the race, my time = 2 hours 9 minutes.  My goal now is to run it in 2 hours or less.  I'm excited, the weather is going to be perfect !!

  • I'm doing the Pittsburgh Half Marathon. Starting to get anxious and excited. I just hope the weather isn't too crazy humid!
  • I am doing a triathlon.
    It will be interesting to see how I rebound from last weekend..pretty much just recovered the entire week so I feel like I lost a lot although I know I didnt.

    In any event, it should be fun!

  • Well, I'm supposed to be running a 10K on Sunday.  Super small race, I actually have a chance of placing.  But I woke up this morning with a sore throat and headache.  Crying  I hope if I get lots of sleep and fluids the next couple days, I'll feel up to it.  We shall see.

    Good luck to everyone racing!!!!

  • 5k tomorrow with DH. I'm hoping for a big PR.

  • Running the Flying Pig Marathon on Sunday.  The weather forecast doesn't look too great. Oh well, if I need to slow down, I will.

    Good luck! I'll be cheering on the half/full marathon runners. 

  • Good Luck ladies!  No racing for me this weekend.  My lil' brother is graduating from college this weekend.

  • Wow; lots of exciting races this weekend! Good luck all. I'm running the Minnewaska Warmup 1/2 tomorrow; very excited for race day!

    Good luck, ladies! 

    How is the course? I'm not too familiar with Frederick, so I'm kind of glad to be doing the 5k also to get an idea.

     Thanks!
