I don't race. Yet! Training for my first half marathon in September.

15k in the Bronx (Van Cortlandt Park)! It's a great distance

I run several times a week (about 7 miles one day, 4 to 5 miles other days), but am weirdly resistant to racing. I'm not a naturally athletic person so, while I'm very proud to have worked up to these distances, I'm far too insecure to apply them in a competitive setting, even though I know I'd place somewhere around the back of the middle of the pack. I'm slowly working up to half-marathon distance; maybe once I get there I'll enter a 5k.

I've walked a couple of races but ran my first 5K last weekend! I'm so proud of myself for running the whole thing and I want to do more races.

i'm running my first 5K in 3 weeks! YEA

I've marathoned and have jumped in to 18 milers and below to help a youth group train for marathons when some of their mentors have gotten sick and couldn't make it to training races. That was all in the past though.

I am running my first 5k next month coming back from my car accident over a year ago. I am pretty freakin' excited.

unfortunately my bad knees keep me from running more than 5 miles or so. and i'm only 25!! i feel like i have the knees of a 70 year old

Boston will be my 3rd marathon!! Starting to get so excited!!!

I love races. I'm not super fast, but it's just so fun to be out there with other runners. I have my own time goals for races that I try to focus on rather than winning. I try to do a marathon each year with lots of shorter distances throughout the year.

i ran cross country in high school. those were the longest races i've ever run. i came in first once!

So far my longest is the half-marathon, but I'm running my first marathon next Sunday. Aack!

I ran my first 5k last weekend. I hope to be able to run a marathon within a year. Is that too much distance for a new runner? Once I got the hang of it...I LOVE RUNNING!

I'm training for a 10K on June 14th

I haven't yet! But I want to do a 5K one soon!

I ran an 8K in March, am planning on a women's 10K in July and a possible 1/2 in August!

Starting to love the running

Ironman, baby. And gearing up for a 50k in the fall which is 31 miles.

Because of certain health conditions, I really can't run. But hell, I'll walk 5,000 miles if you want me to!!!

I ran my first half marathon last year @ SF's Nike Women's Marathon...wow, was that tough!! But by far one of my most proudest accomplishments.

Unfortunately (or fortunately?) I didn't get a spot through the random lottery, but instead, my friends and I are doing the half @ Disneyland in August!! I can't wait to run through Disneyland, it's going to be so cool!! =)

I did my first 1/2 in 2005... and after leaving the military, sort of lost my motivation to run. But one of my freinds made me a shadow box with my race shirt, medal, number and a picture to motivate me to run after work. So far it's been working great!

I have run two 10-mile races and would love to try a half-marathon. I am not naturally athletic or fast, but it is worthwhile to set a goal and have something concrete, like a race, to make sure I meet it! Also it is fun to run with so many other people! Before I started doing occasional races, I had no idea there were so many runners in the world.

The farthest I've ran is a 5k but I'd love to get up to a 10k

I've run a 50 mile race and a number of 50k's. Hope to complete a 100 miler some day! : )

I ran a 5k, but didn't run for a year. So I'm building back up using the C25K program.

I use to do marathons but found I am too prone to over-use injuries. Now my longest races are 1/2 marathons; for me the perfect compromise. And every time I line up for a 1/2 marathon and there is a marathon going at the same time I am sooo happy I don't have to run 13 more miles! But what I really want to get into is adventure racing.

a mile

unfortunately only 5k... I've run up to 10k at a time in practice, but I haven't been able to get my timing correctly to run a proper 10k race. Hm... this got me thinking. It could be another goal to set for myself this year...

Is that a shirt I could buy? It's so cute!

After just starting to run in January (I was sidelined for high-impact exercise for 6 years after a nasty skiing accident), I just completed my first half-marathon and am going for a full marathon in December. In between now and then, I'm doing a couple 15Ks, 10Ks and at least two more half-marathons.

I've never run a race or a marathon but I really want to. I think a friend of mine and I are going to join a running club that prepares for the next marathon in your City. I'm pretty stoked about it.
