Upcoming races?

I recently completed a half marathon in Denver, and am currently training for the Las Vegas Marathon.

Anyone signed up for a race in the near future?

I ran two half marathons in September -- Rock 'n Roll Half Marathon in Virginia Beach and the Philadelphia Distance Festival (also put on by the Rock 'n Roll race folks, so I will get a special medal for doing both races).

Upcoming, I don't have anything big. There's a Halloween 5K on Sunday (I still need to come up with a costume), some Thanksgiving 10Ks (one, a "Turkey Chase" on Thanksgiving morning), and a 15K in December.

I'm not sure what I'm doing next year yet. I'll be back in Virginia Beach again, but that's not until Labor Day. I think we're going to do the new Rock 'n Roll race in San Antonio in November 2008 (will probably choose the 1/2 over the full).

Oh, and we may be thinking of trying a triathlon -- Iron Girl does one near us, it's a sprint triathlon, is women-only, and we hear it is excellent for beginners!

I really want to do Las Vegas, but it's a terrible time of year for me. I sing in a community choir and the holiday season is packed with concerts! Still, one of these days, I may have to do it!; ▶ Reply to This

This will be my fifth attempt at a decent showing. All I really want is to have a time that is reflective of my preparation. Between now and then, I am running the Route 66 half marathon on November 18 and a Jingle Bell Run 5k on December 8.; ▶ Reply to This

So I'm doing the Seattle 1/2 on the Sunday after T'gvg. I'm still in denial that it's just over 3 weeks away: it'll be my first. Eek!; ▶ Reply to This

I'm sort of in love with these distances right now but I'm trying to get up the nerve to do a half marathon.; ▶ Reply to This
