What is your next race? Disney or Otherwise?

[Minnie Lor]

My next non-Disney race is tomorrow morning: Cincinnati Heart Mini Marathon Inaugural Half Marathon. This will be half #3 for the year.

My next Disney race, sadly isn't until January 2012.

Good luck tomorrow.

Doing the National Half this weekend coming up. Hope to see Frank there!

Why? Hey, it's not Disney, but there are some great sights. I figured the atmosphere would be very motivational. Whenever I go sightseeing there, I see the runners jogging around National Mall - and I envy them. Now, I get to do it.

After that, I am registered for the Island 2 Island. It starts in Ocean City, MD and goes to Assateague Island.

Why? It is close and relatively cheap.


I am trying to do one a month if possible.

I have 3 races (so far) on my calendar for the rest of the year.

Next is the Bill Robinson Masters 10k on 4/30. Only those over age 40 can compete. I just turned 40 in Nov, so now I get to run with (and get schooled by) the geezers. But seriously, I have done tons of 5ks and 5 halfs, but never a 10k. Its a flat course, cheap entry ($12) and very close to home.

In August I have the Camp Chingachgook Challenge Half, in scenic Lake George, NY. My DD will go to camp there for the week the day after the half. It is a hilly, challenging course, and will take me WELL outside of my comfort zone.

Last big race is my "A" race, the Mohawk Hudson River Half Marathon in October. There is a full marathon at the same time; different starts, same finish (which is nice, keeps the crowds down). Only 850 for the half; 1250 for the full. Ran it this past fall, injured myself on course, but still finished with my second best time. The full is one of the best qualifiers for Boston (well it was at least). Another race that is close to home, relatively inexpensive ($40) and very well supported.

No Disney race for me until 2013 and my first full

Mine are the Amazing Grace 5K in May and the Eastman Road Race (a 10k) in September. The 5K is my first race ever so I've not done either before and I'm doing them because they are local and therefore cheap.

I'm hoping my first half will be the Donald in January, but if not I plan to do the Derby Half in 2012.

Good luck to everyone!

 

[Danhockey04]

I might be doing a 5k in St. Augustine April 2, just depends on weather conditions since it is a 4:30 pm start, registration is open on race day. If not that race, then Everest Challenge is next in line.

Since I've been recovering from an injury that happened last August and have lost motivation, I'm trying to get back in the swing of things. Feel like I'm starting from scratch. So, these are my events through the summer.

April 10th 2 mile walk to benefit org. that provides respite for cancer patients

April 23rd 5K run in Cobbs Creek Park

July 10th Phila. Women's Duathlon

August 7th RnR Providence

August 28th The Wild Half in Wildwood, NJ

Sept. 18th RnR Philly

All but the Providence race are fairly local. I've done the duathlon and RnR Philly before. Doing these races because they're local and to get back into shape to go Goofy in 2012!

Just did my "next race" yesterday - the Shamrock 8k in Virginia Beach. I had never done this one before and figured it was a nice, "short" distance. I registered back in January, but then fell of the wagon and didn't work out all of February and March. I wasn't going to do the race, but decided what the heck. Figured I could walk it if need be since I had 2 hours to finish. I ended up doing pretty well.

Nothing else on the agenda until the Wicked 10k in October.

 

[carissanboys]

After that, I am registered for the Island 2 Island. It starts in Ocean City, MD and goes to Assateague Island.

That sounds fun, Laura! I love Assateague. Maybe the wild ponies will run with you.

Twinkie 5K benefiting ALS in Ann Arbor, Michigan on April 1st. The deal with the run is to eat a Twinkie before the run and at the 1.5 mile mark, each Twinkie is $5 for a donation to ALS research. With each Twinkie consumed you can shave 60 seconds off your time. I'm shooting for a sub 1 minute 5K.

Okay, I'm from Michigan (metro Detroit) and a huge Twinkie fan. How did I miss this one???

Definately going to have to look at this one next year.

 

[mousemgr2]

The next up is the Martian 1/2 Marathon in Dearborn Michigan (April 2nd)
I have done this race before. The course is actually where we train at times.
Doing this one again because friend is trying to cross Michigan off as one of her 25 states. We figured since this one is in her backyard, why not.

Here is the website: http://www.a2a3.org/twinkie-run/

I've been wanting to do the Martian half since I hear about it last year. I will have to put that on my calendar next year.

Next up for me: The National Marathon Relay this coming weekend. I'm running the first leg of the three man race. If anyone in the gray corral sees someone with Foodtilla The Hon (our name for our team of food lovers from Baltimore) on the back of their shirt, that's me! I've never done this race before, and I'm looking forward to having a more scenic course than the other DC races I've done.

After that, I'm hoping to do a race really far away from home--The Breakfast Run a 5k on April 9 on the course of the Paris Marathon! Running from the Eiffel Tower/Champ de Mars to the Arc de Triomph--yes please!

And the last race officially on the spring calendar is the Maryland Half Marathon on May 15. Should be fun!

My next race is the national half marathon in dc next weekend as well. Signed up for it because I was initially pretty upset that I didn't get into the nyc half via lotto, so I wanted to find another spring half marathon. The other options in the city weren't really appealing, so I thought it would be fun to roadtrip to dc and run through all the monuments.

My next few halfs are part of the nyrr borough series - brooklyn (may), queens (july), bronx (aug) and staten island (sept) in order to get guaranteed entry for the nyc half in 2012, as well as to work towards my 9 races to get guaranteed entry for the full marathon in 2012.

What is your next race?

My next race weekend will be running the Drake Relays 1/2 Marathon in Des Moines, IA April 30th and the Lincoln 1/2 Marathon May 1st.

Have you done it before?

Both of these will be first time races for me. Actually will be my first time in both cities and first time ever in Nebraska.

Why did you choose the particular race?

Iowa will be state number 44 and Nebraska state number 45 for my 1/2 marathon running in all the states chase. These races are also priced at more traditional running event prices: $27.75 for Drake Relays and $55.00 for Lincoln. Reminds me of Disney half pricing 10 years ago.

 

[verticalchaos]

Now that my HM is done...

My scheduled races:

4/10 NYRR Scotland Run 10k
6/25 FRNY Pride Run 5M
9/4 Disneyland HM
1/8 Disney Full

I know there will be other races in there...I've got to add in 2 more to meet the NYRR 9+1 for guaranteed entry into the 2012 NYC Marathon. And the Wine and Dine is 99% being added in mid-April.

 

[Disfan11]

Here's my run plan:
4/10 Seahawks 12K run - never ran before; but they are my home team!
5/1 Top Pot Donut Dash 5K (but will have to run it 3 times to get my 9 mile training in) Ran this last year; you get donuts at the end!
5/15 Beat The Bridge 8K - have run this for the past 2 years; starts and ends at Husky stadium in Seattle (my alma mater)
6/5 San Diego Rock & Roll - never ran it before; running it with some family members and it will be beautiful weather (I hope!)
I'll run some smaller ones in the summer that I haven't found yet to prepare for...
9/4 Disneyland 1/2 marathon - where I'll get my coast to coast medal
Haven't done this before, but so excited to do another Disney one after just doing the Princess

 

[lisah0711]

What is your next race? Have you done it before? Why did you choose the particular race?

Spring Dash, 5 miles, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. I did it last year -- my first PR 1:44 -- I'm pretty sure I can beat that this year. And not take a month to recover. Then it's the Coeur d'Alene Half at the end of May. Because I have to prove something to myself after being swept at the Princess.
