Just registered for marathon #2...in May (Bayshore in Traverse City, MI). I was going to wait until Fall to settle the score, but peer pressure on RA is a real bitch. Too many MI RA peeps doing the HM or full...I couldn't justify the lodging/food/travel expense to just go spectate...so I added $70 in race fees. Where is the logic in that? Tongue

Whoa, that shirt is SWEET! Damn, why didn't I think of that one for this year...oh, 'cause all the other cool MI peeps pressured me into Bayshore. But NEXT year I definitely want to look at Martian. I just hope the shirt is that cool. Big grin

Too bad I'm not ready to do marathons so close together...yet.
