You know that logo is the number one reason I will choose a race. Hardcore strategy, at its best. I keep saying I mam going to do it, but I never make the logistics work. :(RBRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14193497073393160994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11786280.post-75236178665268269122010-11-11T21:51:57.702-07:002010-11-11T21:51:57.702-07:00Donna, would you email me directly?

However a local marathon has established that same time limit up here because of costs. It is a small marathon and the costs of maintaining police and other support drives total costs up dramatically. As a result they compromised with a similar 5.5 hour time limit which also offends some in this neck of the woods. However they do offer an early start for those who wish to race and are concerned about missing the cutoff.Spokane Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14322733412232169837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11786280.post-21495178226181886572010-11-11T08:44:16.418-07:002010-11-11T08:44:16.418-07:00I like your idea of two 50 milers with long naps b...I like your idea of two 50 milers with long naps between. Heck, if you do that, it takes the pressure off making the cutoff while renewing your vows at Vegas because I think you get even more stars for the 4 marathons in 2 weekends. Flying Pig is on my wish list too, looks like a blast!JojaJoggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162679585508072073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11786280.post-87583770422926495032010-11-11T07:34:48.288-07:002010-11-11T07:34:48.288-07:00Misty -- was looking for a close half-mary to do i...Misty -- was looking for a close half-mary to do in May; this one is closer than Green Bay for me and cheaper, so I might be doing the Kenosha run, if it tips the scales any. It's part of a larger training plan to end in Memphis in Dec. 2011 at the St. Jude Marathon.<br /><br />My husband Jake (former Marine -- hoo-rah) and I live in Milwaukee, and if you wouldn't mind being hosted for a pre-run dinner by two total strangers (and, possibly, some or all of their five kids), we'd be honored. You really are an inspiration to me, and I would love to have a chance to thank you. :DDonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00078035995610985120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11786280.post-49487329178290398682010-11-11T07:00:39.665-07:002010-11-11T07:00:39.665-07:00I love my droid!

Last year it was really well organized and a freaking blast.<br /><br />Plus when you're done you can enjoy another Cincinnati treat, Graeter's Ice Cream. Seriously, the trip to Cincinnati is worth it just for the ice cream.:)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01195344056130321853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11786280.post-25133185273727398022010-11-11T01:32:50.935-07:002010-11-11T01:32:50.935-07:00Mmmm, did you eat at Tucanos?

Still time for that to change though.<br />I love your blog and your writing style. I'm just wondering what the story is behind your dislike for Pearl Izumi. I think the tirade on the left of your screen is pretty funny.Chris and Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18433880543279767835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11786280.post-67971950777902833942010-11-10T23:28:33.677-07:002010-11-10T23:28:33.677-07:00iPhone/itouch = electronic crack.
