Hey Trishie, Stephen, Norm-
Do yo0u guys have hotel reservations yet? Where are you staying? I tried the host hotel and it is full. Tried teh Marriot and they didn't recognize the marathon nor the rate in their system. I ahve a friend staying at the Marriot but wanted to see where you guys are staying also. |

Hi Alan, I decided to not stay overnight, since I am only an hours drive away. I don't have any personal experience with the hotels in Richmond, but I did hear someone who ran the marathon before recommend the Marriott. You might have to call the hotel to see if they have a special marathon rate.
P.S., Something came up with Norm, and he is no longer planning on running it. |

| Richmond was my first marathon in 2005. We stayed at the Quality Inn at 201 East Cary St, about 1/2 mile from the finish (on the course) and 1 mile easy walk/jog to the start. I'm sure it's not as nice as the Marriott, but it was comfortable and convienient, and probably a lot cheaper. |

Ah, thank you for this! It's only $95/ night, and no minimum night requirement!!
Wahooo!! And thanks again, Alan, for the reminder  |

I just made my reservations at the Quality Inn also. Looks like a very convenient location.

Trishie-
When do you guys get in? I am flying in Friday morning. Did you guys buy pasta dinner tickets or are you just going to do a restaurant in the area? I didn't buy a pasta dinner ticket as I just planned on finding somewhere around the city to eat.
Stephen- what are your plans? I know you said you were in Richmond for the day but what time are you heading out Friday? |

James and I are driving down from Balwmor Friday early afternoon. We should arrive in Richmond around 5:00-6:00ish. We're staying at the Quality Inn all weekend (Friday night and Saturday night, leaving Sunday late morning).
Looking for a place to eat dinner on Friday night -- suggestions? Do we all want to eat at the same place?
Maybe we should exchange cell phone numbers via email --- do you guys want to post your email addys and I'll start an email with all Richmond runners and their phone numbers? |
