Who is racing this weekend?

[melmel48]

I am spectating a marathon! My friend is attempting to BQ, so he could use some cheers from internet strangers.      

[Mushe]

Half tomorrow! It's rainy here today, and supposed to be on Sunday as well. I'm normally a fair weather runner only, so this should be interesting! I'm going to look at hats at Fleet Feet today when I get my packet.

Its supposed to be rainy off/on for the next week here (including race day). I'm crossing my fingers that the ONE HOUR we are running is not rainy. One hour is all I'm asking for. It can rain the entire weekend, just spare me that one hour. lol

Yay; lots of racers!!! Go forth and do awesome, ok?!? Good luck everybody.

[mrshandy]

Good luck everyone!!

I'm doing a 5k tomorrow morning, but it's one my mom asked me to walk with her so I won't be running or setting any PRs. It should be fun, though.

Good luck, racers!

I'm volunteering at an aid station at the Nike Half. My race for the weekend will be biking there and arriving by 5:30 AM to set up 

Can you let us know which one (mile marker)?

I wanna make sure us Nike Women are able to run by and be all "::chug Nuun:: OMG HI COLE THANKS SO MUCH FOR ROCKING OUT HERE TODAY  AGHJAAHSJFKASHJ ::cough cough wheeze wrong pipe::"

Okay who are we kidding here, that'll just be my uncoordinated self.

Lol, I'll be at the very end of Hains Point around mile 9!

[gncorman]

Good luck everyone!!!

I'll be at the Blue Ridge Marathon aid station by the Y. I have to work until 10 so, it will be after that +however long it takes to navigate the streets. David will be there early, though - stop by and say hi! Will you be around post-race or are you headed straight to DC?

Sometimes I don't look to see who is posting something before I read the post. I can 99% of the time pick out a vtcupcake post without looking.

I have a 10K on Sunday!

[emuni04]

5K Saturday PM. It will be interesting...not expecting to PR since the weather is getting pretty warm and it's a PM race, but I'm hoping to surprise myself!

GL to all the racers!

[Deleted]

Me! I'm doing a WOLF run (Woods, Obstacles, Lakes, Fields). It's a 10K off road, plus obstacles.
And I've drunk a bottle of prosecco. Not my best preparation. Oops.

Not me then. It's midnight here and I've polished off a bottle of fizz. Damn it.

[secretlyevil]

Good luck everyone!

Good luck ladies, can't wait for all of the race recaps. Also can't wait to check out this year's Nike Women's necklace!!

I did the Country Music Half in Nashville today. Have a minor knee injury so I barely trained and speed walked half. Stayed with my friend and we had a blast. Highly recommend this race and sometimes it's fun going in without a goal. Congrats and good luck to the other racers.

My best friend did this one too. She does it every year and loves it.

Yes still on my runners high. I love Nashville. This was a really well done race.

I was there too. It was so much fun. Did you see the people giving out Krispy Kreme? I took one.

Like I mentioned above I ran RnR Nashville. No time goals other than to finish and attempt a negative split. I ran with one of my fellow April 2012 moms. We walked the hills and pushed it when we wanted to. I finished in 2:20 which I will take considering I raced last weekend.

Nice work! I didn't realize your two halves were back-to-back weekends.

Yeah, last weekend was supposed to be a training run since I was scheduled to run 13 miles, and I'd planned to be in Louisville anyway. 

cinco thanks! It was such an enjoyable experience. I don't plan to race frequently without time goals, but it sure was nice.

Racing back-to-back weekends is tough. I bet you were still feeling it. Nicely done!

[jamalynn]

Ran a 10k today. Not a great time (hilly course) but good enough for 3rd in my age group and 7th overall female.

I ran the Glass City Marathon Relay today with some friends and we had a blast! It was a self-supported relay so you had to drive around between all the points and meet your team. We were on time and came in under our estimate (4:26:51) and that's with 2 runners swapped out from the initial registration due to injury.

Love it! I had a beer but passed on the donut. 

[CallingAllAngels]

I ran a trail 5K. My time was bad, about a minute slower than last year. It was hot and dusty. I wish I had brought water even though I don't usually carry it for distances that shirt bc there were no water stops. I would really like to start running trails more regularly and maybe have a big PR next year.
