Marathon Tips?

You guys are all faster than myself. Have a great race everyone!

Let's do this!

Well, not my best time ever, but not the worst either. That race is so fun. Love all the cute Marines!

I really want to go to this on Friday, but it's my last long run before my ultra this weekend and I have to be responsible and go to bed early.

wait, what?!?  you're running ultras now???  you go girl (and go, and go, and keep on going, and go some more, etc etc etc…)

Anyone else run the lovely St Pats 10k this morning?  27 degrees with sleet and snow - perfect running weather.

Nope, but I did manage to do a 20-mile training run.

I managed an 18 mile training run. On the road. Been running trails/ice/snow all winter to prep for my first ever 50K in two weeks! A little worried about the cut off time at mile 17, but I think I can make it.

What does everyone have on the docket this year? I'm doing the HAT 50K, Hatfield-McCoy marathon in June, King Crab (just the Baltimore 1/2 this year though), and MCM.

I did the St. Pats 5k + 10k double yesterday.  Felt great, but man…was I slow.  That was my first race since December 2012 due to knee and achilles issues.  I am already registered for the following:

Share the Love 14k
GW Parkway Classic (10-miler)
St. Michaels Half Marathon
Baltimore Ten Miler

Contemplating:
Frederick Mission Ten Miler
Frederick Half Marathon
If all goes well - NY or Chicago Marathon in the fall.

Reston Runners Marathon
Pike's Peek 10K
Parks Half
MCM
Rehoboth Marathon

Then it's a tossup between Erie, Chicago or Wineglass…

I usually find a couple of 5Ks to throw in there…

When is Parks Half? Do you like it?

I want to run Rehoboth this year too!

I love the Parks Half - one of my favorite races!  This year its on September 13th…a nice tune-up race while you're training for MCM.

Cool. I will register for it!

the parks half goes a block away from my place.  lemme know if you want me standing on the corner holding out a homebrew for you.

Look at this thread . . . Boom!

That would be awesome.

Is anyone doing the Rock N Roll?  Any tips/advice are welcome!  This is my first full marathon. 

I ran 3 of their half marathons last year.  I'm a little worried about the weather, but physically I think I am ready.  I got my 20 miler in last weekend.

Hey, how was your race? Tough weather conditions today!  I ran about 16 miles, on and off the course with the runners I coached this season.  They were generally unhappy,  but posted good times :)

Definitely tough running. Congrats to all who finished!!

I run my first ultra this weekend. Scared!

What does everyone have on the calendar this year? For me, B'more half, MCM, and Rosaryville 50K.
