I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

Pretty safe bet.
The Martian Marathon is in early April. I want to do it just for the shirt, assuming they keep such an insane design in future years. Though training would be a bitch. That would mean starting training in Dec. to do an 18 week program...this does NOT sound fun.
(yeah, some of us locals, especially those of us who direct other races, get all in a tizzy when folks refer to CMM as the Nashville marathon as if it were the only one...Nashville now has ~7 HM, 4 M and at least 1 UM distance races.)
...see that's far less passive-aggressive than the winky smiley.
Yes, I'm doing the Nashville Half Marathon.
I forgot about Martian. Some years it is the same weekend as Glass City and makes for a popular double among those so inclined. Martian is an easy course and kind of fun... but you will spend most of it by yourself and it can be frightfully cold. I'd only suggest it as a first race for those who don't mind solitude .
And please don't call it Music City. They don't like that either, trust me.
Not. At. All. You know. Since there actually IS a Music City Half Marathon in the Fall...
