I reserved my spot for the 2012 Gasparilla Distance Classic in Tampa. When somebody registers for the same race a second time you know they have to believe it's good.

Today, I registered to run the ING Miami Marathon, next January. Am I excited or what?

Thanks taylor007!

Well, my mom has always been active, even since I was a little girl. She does weight training, aerobics, and she runs from time to time. Well I finally talked her into running a 5k with me so I'm running with her for her first 5k on March 26th. I don't have a goal in mind...just helping her to get across the finish line and to enjoy the experience.

In the meantime, I'm training for my first 10k, scheduled for May 15th (2 days before my 29th birthday). And to top it off, it will be my first race outside of Baltimore. I'm running in the Capitol Hill Classic around DC. It should be a lot of fun and really exciting. I'm up to running 5.5 miles for a long run. I'm training for an 8 mile run. I find that I do so much better when I can run 2+ miles over the race distance.

I have another 5k thrown in there for kicks around April, but I'm really looking forward to the 10k.

Hello all it seems like it has been forever since someone posted in here. Hey Bird I am not sure that I will be doing the Road Racer 5k as it is in the middle of my training. I will be doing atleast 2 in april maybe three. Because that is what it looks like my training plan is suggesting to get ready for may 15th

Douniwan - Hello and welcome to our taunting and race thread. Tell us a little about you, besides your newly improved aerodynamics. Where are you from? what distances do you like ro run? what are your results? you know stuff like that.

Dreamstate - Welcome to our Goodnatured taunting thread. Congradulations on the race and also on the PR. Yes you always go off of your chip time unless its otherwise stated in the rules. Also if it was a certified course I would probably go with what the course. One of the easiest ways to check is if you have a garmin or gps that you can use during the race. That will give you more exact distances (usually). Although I have never worn a skirt racing I hear they are comfortable. So again congrats on your race and your PR. Whats next for you?

No worries though, I've got a freshly shaved dome and the improved aerodynamics will give me the edge I need.

I just have some random ramblings about my last 5k.

As I stated in the "My last run was...how was yours?" thread, I ran in the Shamrock 5k among 4,615 people! The largest race I've ever completed. I PR'd with a sub-30 time of 29:12 (I'm sorry that I keep posting this everywhere but I'm really really proud).

But here's my list of random things:

1. It was a chipped race. I didn't know which time I should go off of (gun vs. chip), but in all fairness, it took me about a minute or more just to get to the start mat! So I'm posting the chipped time, darnit!

2. I mapped the route in mapmyrun and the course was apparently much longer than 3.1 miles. When I mapped it out, it came out to be 3.69 miles. It was a USAT&F course so I thought that it would've been super accurate, but I guess not. I'm still confused by this.

3. I ran in my new running skirt and I loved it! YAY for running skirts.

4. I heard the funniest conversations from people while running along. Here's my favorite: After starting off from the start line, and traveling about 3 blocks, one girl stops while gasping for air to say "How far was that?" lol

Okay, I'm done

Here's what I have so far.

Again, handicaps will be calculated based on Taylor's Pre-Purple Pickle PR (try to say that 3 times fast) unless someone faster comes along. I also updated everyone's PR's from their fall races.

This time I used actual PR's for the longer races where I had a time, otherwise they are estimated based on the 5k PR and converted using the McMillan calculator.

I will figure the final handicaps once the list is closer to being complete.

I cant read that its too small!!!!!! ok I will probably do 2 races in march. the ostrich festival 3/5 and arizona rd racers 3/26. If I crack 18 minutes at the ostrich festival I will take the rest of the month off. if I dont then I will try again at the end of the month.
