Running Plans for 2013

[SillyC]

What're you all running in 2013?

Here's my schedule:

TARC spring thaw 6 hour, Andover, MA - Sometime in late march?
North Face Endurance Challenge Bear Mountain, NY 50 miler - May 4th - already registered
El Scorcho, Fort Worth, TX - Mid-July - most probably!


And you?

 

[Barefoot TJ]

Good luck and have fun, Ms. Silly.

I just plan on putting one foot in front of the other after I've healed from this week's surgery. Wish me well. It's on Wednesday! Yikes!

All I have that is already paid for is the Warrior Dash later in the year. Other then that I am just playing it by ear.

Hells Hills 50 mile, not too far from Austin, TX - April
El Schorcho 50k Ft., Worth, TX - July
Leadville Silver Rush 50, Leadville, CO - July
Cactus Rose 100 mile, Bandera, TX - October

 

[Barefooting Bob]

Here's my list as it stands right now, people keep trying to convince me to run other races as well. But I have some commitments with my North Face gig this year that are taking priority.

Desert Marathon - Surprise, AZ - Feb
Ice Donkey-Winnipeg, MB - Feb (Just thinking Warrior Dash but in the Winter)
Actif Epica - Southern Manitoba (130km) Feb
Sandhills 50km Ultra - Fargo, North Dakota - March
Manitoba Trail 50 miler - Spruce Woods, MB - May
Fargo Marathon - Fargo, ND - May
Manitoba Marathon - Winnipeg, MB - June
Where's The Beach In Stead, MB - 33 km trail run - July (33km of sandy trails hench the beach reference)
The Canadian Death Race, 125km, Grand Cache, AB - August
Lost Soul 100 miler, Lethbridge, AB - September
Swamp Donkey, 9 hour adventure race, Whiteshell, MB - September
Leming Loop: 24 hour timed trail run, Winnipeg, MB - October
Surf The Murph 100 km - Duluth, MN, October

It's going to be a busy year.

 

[SillyC]

Wow, BOB! Good luck with that!

bubba_hotep - could you let me know when registration goes up for El Scorcho? My parents live in Plano, and we're probably going to visit at that time of year. Nothing set in stone yet, though.

Good luck with the surgery, tomorrow, TJ! Hope it's the last!

I'm trying not to commit to so many races next year. My goal is to do ultra distances without the pressure of being in a race.

January - Carlsbad Marathon
Feb and March - Group runs on the Zion 100 course, sections of the Zion traverse on my own
April - pacing for the Zion 100
May - Grand Canyon R2R2R and pacing for the Bryce 100
End of June and first part of July - Trail running and beer drinking in Southern Germany
Fall - Zion Traverse and another trip to the Grand Canyon exploring the Tonto trail.

Tentative plans (thinking of another marathon or longer in there somewhere as well)


March
Pacing for the Badger Mountain Challenge 100

May
Bloomsday
Born to Run 50K

October
Tri-City Marathon

 

[rickwhitelaw]

How could I forget?

August - Hood to Coast Relay, team BRS.

Duh, that too!

 

[JustSayGo]

4/6 Gardenspot Village marathon in New Holland, PA (long run)
5/5 Pittsburgh marathon (race)
6/8 Laurel Highlands 50K - first ultra (long, long run)!
Early September - Susquehanna Super Hike and Ultra Trail Run - 28.4 miles in Susquehanna river valley - hiked it last summer but DNS race day.
2nd annual Veteran's Marathon in Black Lick, PA

Also: resolving to hit 2000 miles on the year.

 

[Barefoot Gentile]

Not much.

June - My town's half marathon, Fairfield, CT - Tradition and my favorite race to run
Sept. 22nd - Adirondack, NY Marathon
Oct. 13th - Newport, RI Marathon

 

[SillyC]

JustSayGo - have you done Garden Spot Village before? It sounds like a fun race, and it's one of the few road marathons that appeals to me.

 

[spoonerweb]

Kaohsiung Half-Marathon (23k) at the end of Feb
10k in May
Taroko Gorge Marathon at the beginning of Nov
Penghu Marathon at the end of Nov (not sure when this race actually will be since they change it drastically every time)
Also looking forward to getting over 7000km in and hoping to hit 8000km.

 

[BFwillie_g]

The Rennsteig Super Marathon in May

A lot of long, long, solo runs...

I have not done it before, but I'm locked and loaded for this year. I'm originally from Lancaster so it'll be a nice homecoming race. I don't know about the actual roads along the race route but I know that most roads in the area should be fine for barefooting. Are you local?

 

[RunningPirate]

Jan - Potentially doing a 10K charity run on New Years Day
Mar - SF Color Run 5K
Apr - SF Rock and Roll 1/2 Marathon
Jun - [Tentative] SF Marathon (I really need to think about this)
Aug - Race Through the Redwoods
Nov - Turkey Trot

These are the ones that I know about. There's a high probability that I'll throw in a trail race or two in addition to whatever random 5 or 10K that comes along. Also I might skip the SF Marathon to have more time training for either the Twin Cities (Fresno and Clovis) in November or the California International Marathon (Sacramento) in December, but we shall see.

 

[Barefoot HannahC]

50's for Yo Mama on May 11 (barefoot or minimalist or both)
Burning River 100 July 27-28 (minimalist, though some parts are ok barefoot)
Berea Oktoberfest Sept. 8 (barefoot)
North Coast 24 September 21-22 (barefoot)
and volunteering at the Akron Marathon September 28 (barefoot. Probably more fun than even running it.)

And committed to running 2013 miles in 2013: http://moonjoggers.blogspot.com/2012/12/dear-moon-joggers-first-of-all-thank.html

Gee, I have some training to do.

Nope. I live in Massachusetts.

Me too, at least the moon joggers, commited for the 2013 miles as well. Going to be fun.

Your doing Burning River, that one is on my bucket list one of these years. Let me know how it goes for you.
