So i’ve been trying to run 3-4 times a week, between 3 and 4 miles each time for the past couple months… entered my first “race” this past weekend and ran the Medved 5k at the 10 Ugly Men Festival in Rochester. Ended up finishing 155th out of 420 with a time of 24:35. I was pretty happy with that seeing that I wanted to just be in the top half of the crowd 🙂 Next up is a 10k at the end of August i’m starting to get ready for… was just curious if anyone else runs on a routine schedule etc too ---

I do run races whenever I am in the loop about when they are. I mostly just like running just to be out and running. I usually do not run the same route often there are TONS of trails and places to run in my area so I just grab the GPS and go. ---

I only run at the gym right now, but I do want to get more into actually running around outside lol. I recently made it a goal of mine to run a marathon within 3-5 years. i usually will run for at least 4 miles at the gym though, if not more. ---

Marathons are alot harder than most people realize. I had a friend in Hawaii who ran at least 6 miles a day, and 13 miles once a week. When she ran a marathon in Boston, she still said she was ready to die. I’ve been trying to run more lately, I just get busy as hell. I would love to do a 5k soon. ---

There are many good races during the summer, my favs are the ones with good parties and beer drinking afterward. ---

I have been training for the disney marathon in January but with 5 stress fractures it has been pretty tough. I did run the Utica Boilermaker a couple weeks ago which was a 15k. ---
