2019 Exercise/Race Plans???

April 6th--Andrew Jackson Half Marathon

May 18th-Memphis in May Triathlon-Sprint-first one

June 8th-RUTS (Running Under the Stars) in Paducah Kentucky--Run around a 1/4 mile horse track from 8 pm to 6 am and try and get as many miles as you can

Oct 13th-Chicago Marathon

December 7th-St Jude Half Marathon

And I will prolly have a few 5k/10k's thrown in there at some point..

For 2019 I'll continue my usual exercise routine: gym on tues/Thursday doing a mix of cardio and strength and running on Saturday/Sunday. I'll also do the Memorial Day- Independence Day run streak.

Only race planned for me right now is the Disney Princess 1/2 Marathon on 2/24.

I'm sure I'll do a 5k, etc to have a record of times in case I want to sign up for other races.

Peach have you done any half marathons? Only reason I'm asking is if you follow Hal Higdon, he has a ton of free training plans..

Its a 12 week out plan so....

No this is my first 1/2. I made up my own training plan- which I've been working since September. I'm am ready, ready ready for this and stinking excited!

I've been playing around with the idea of doing 3 spartan races, the trifecta. So that way I'd need to stick to a training program to do well.

Those Spartan races are no joke..I dont see myself doing any of those..Trail races and Triathlon are about as far as I will go "off the beaten path". My friends did one in Nashville and she posted videos..those look super tough..more power to you..

Looking at adding a few 5k runs this year, increase distance for biking during good weather, maybe a fun bike race. Mostly just increasing what I already do.

Sadly my fall half marathon was just cancelled - it's been going on for at least a decade, but they decided it was no longer sustainable. RIP Navy Air Force Half Marathon. So now I'm debating what I'm going to do.

March - half marathon
October - 10k
October, 6 days later - 5k, but I can switch it for a second half marathon if I want to do a second one in the year... which I'd sort of like to do. Just not sure about the timing.

Plus weekly 5k races with parkrun about three weeks of every month.

Wow - there was such a great turn out for that this year - my hubby ran and we went to DC for the weekend of the race. This year he's doing the Marine Corps Marathon.

Is he running with a group for the MCM? Or just hoping to win the lottery?

I'll be doing the 10K at MCM :)
