Just signed up for the OCNJ 1/2.
Doing it w/my running bestie who came to DE to run the Delaware Marathon w/me this past spring even though I had to defer.

Bellingham Bay 1/2 marathon in late Sept., hopefully with my son but his thyroid is acting up again. Anyway, I'll be there and hope he can also run.
1:19:06 scores an age grade 90, but training for anything under 1:20.

USATF Cross Country Club Nationals (10K), San Francisco in December.  Hoping to improve on top 6 for age group, but in a very tough age group and the younger runners keep coming in. Anyway, it's going to be fun and this time I'll be on a masters team.

I noticed that.  Come do OC w/me.  That's gotta be a least near your neck of the woods.

I just registered yesterday for a 100 mile race Sept 12th. I had been planning on registering and running it for a while now, just had not gotten around to it and wanted to see how MIL's health was going before committing. I have a 12 hour race in November and that is about it so far. DD's school does a 5 and 10K trail race and will probably do the 5K with her.

I'm running a 50K in VT at the end of Sept. I will be hilly and long, slow race. I am running it with two friends.
In Nov I am running a trail marathon, which I am looking forward to. That's it for me.

Meri - glad you finally signed up!

Ragnar Napa Valley, bitches!!!

Volunteering at the Wasatch 100 next month as well.  I get a shirt, so it still counts as 'doing it'.

Sorry, I spent the last of my 2015 "race budget" on my Fantasy Football league membership

We MAY be down there that weekend though, just for fun [and if I can raise my MS Bike tour $$$ we'll be down the following weekend, too]

I'll keep you posted

What race are you doing in November?  DH is registered for Stone Mill 50 miler.
And which 100?

The Stone Mill 50 was my first (and only) 50 miler.  And it was the only race I ever DNF'd.  Some day I'll go back and do the whole thing.

 Transitioning back to distance running after a summer of successful sprinting at the national level. I'll probably do a half marathon in October as a goal race. And a 10K or 5K before that.

I haven't decided yet.  I was kinda thinking about Loco marathon in NH, but not sure now that I want to bother.

I'm running the Smoky Mountain Half Marathon in Tennessee in about a month with at least one other CH Runner.

Yes Stone Cat. I love the course and know it well. I was signed up last year but due to my injuries I had to skip it and I was very disappointed. I am hoping to run it really well. I did it two years ago and my legs were tired so I didn't do as well as I had hoped. The year before I ran a great race but accidentally skipped a small section which was frustrating to figure out. I was following two guys and they got out of my sight and I couldn't figure out what happened but the loop was a lollipop so once I realized that I messed up I just waited for them to come out so in theory I just waited them out a few minutes and picked up when they came through. I don't think it impacted my time all that much. It was probably a loop that took 5 minutes.
