my plan for next year is to run a race every month!! i ran my first marathon in october and hope to do TWO next year (may and october). i have yet to do a tri, but might throw one in there somewhere (only a sprint distance). good luck with your race plans and in philly! you seem extremely hardcore, and i love it!
Great to see that you’ve got so much of your year planned out ahead of time. It makes it easier to outline your training. I’ll be running my first marathon next May. Between now and then, I’ve got a few 10k’s lined up, along with another half marathon or two. My main goal this winter is to build a HUGE mileage base, assuming this old body holds up. So far, so good, though!
My race schedule is up in the air at the moment. I do know that I will be training for the Rhode Island Save the Bay swim. Its a 1.7 mile swim from Newport to Jamestown across Narragansett Bay. It should be really fun. I might also do a half iron distance aqua bike. I can’t wait for next season.
I have two half marathons in two months and I’m TERRIFIED but excited.
I am also thinking about doing the St. Anythony’s tri next year.
I’d like to run the Manhattan and Bronx 1/2 marathons in January and February respectively. I’m looking into the Pocono Mountain Marathon in May and possibly the Philadelphia Marathon in the fall.

I’m planning to run a half marathon in Feb/March and hopefully Boston in April. In honor of my big 30th, I plan to run the Pikes Peak Marathon in August and the NYC Marathon in November. I’ll fill in the gaps with my first triathlon in June and some other races too:) Busy year – whew!
hi mate,
just going to focus on two races next year. London in april, and Berlin in september. If everything went to plan, then London would be done in a 3.30 or better, then on to Berlin. If i could do Belin in 3.15.59 then i would make the cut for Boston. So in theory to shave off 15 mins every 6 month.

I aim to break my PR at the Brighton marathon in April unless my lazy brother finally gives in a chooses to run with me and then it will be just about having fun.
Then its back on the bike and probably off to do the Imbeciles of Ventoux; A one day ride up the three sides of Mont Ventoux in France.
