The Running Thread - 2026

ATTQOTD:

We have the Springtime Surprise challenge and then the Broad Street 10-miler. I'm hoping for a PR for the Broad Street run but that is going to depend a lot on how the weather goes. The running has been great lately (knock on wood) and I just really hope it's not too hot next month.

My main goal this year is to hit 1,000 running miles and am a little off track so far. But I figure once Dopey training hits for real, the mileage will get there.

ATTQOTD: I have a half marathon in a little under 3 weeks that I'm attempting a PR at. I have not done formal training for it, but am coming off a mid-February marathon. My PR is over a decade old and was run at the same pace I just did my full marathon at. So I'm thinking I should be able to PR it fairly easily. Then SS weekend!

ATTQOTD: Since it looks like I am going to be taking a family vacation instead of running Covered Bridges 1/2 Marathon in June (happy wife/happy life), the only spring goal I have is to pace my son to a decent 10k in May for a POT to use for Wine and Dine 1/2.

I may look to see if I can find a nice local 10k or 1/2 that fits my schedule.

ATTQOTD: My only goal is to remember how to swim, bike, and run when I get back from my dive travels in May.

ATTQOTD - No race goals due to recurring PF issues but I am trying to rehab it as much as I can so I can go for a run in Central Park in early May. Something I have wanted to do for a long time.

ATTQITD: Sort of a spring goal is to start increasing my running interval. Been doing a 2/1 and would like to get to 3/1. I am waiting till April to start moving the needle, as i wanted the knees to recover a bit from the shots. They don't feel worse, but they don't feel better yet.

Well, since 'someone' made me sign up for the Broad Street 10 mile, I may use that for a PR attempt.

There is the Springtime Surprise Challenge and I am beginning to realize that Disney races might not be where I can set PRs, which is fine, as I really enjoy the whole weekend and the races. 'Running' as opposed to 'racing' a race takes a lot of the pressure off and leads to more enjoyment of the experience.

Maybe the Dumb Dutchman HM in June, where I set my PR last year. I like this race as it's close to home, very flat, just over 100 runners, and I can decide the day of whether (weather) to do it.

ATTQOTD:
I have the Love Run Half Marathon in Philadelphia this Sunday, then I'm a pacer for the Pittsburgh Half Marathon at the beginning of May.

ATTQOTD: Race plans are running my first non-Disney Half marathon in almost 3 years this April. Will also be running the Broad Street run this May. Mostly, just trying to get back into the habit of running and training this Spring.

Ooh! Where are you diving?
