      Dumb question: Are we voting for what we think you should run or what we'd run?  I don't know it will make a material difference. 

       

      MTA: Or how we would vote in terms of what the Grand Prix schedule should be?

        Aren't they all very similar?    I can't make it to most of them.......

         

        Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.

          Well unless you are a USATF-NE member you don't get to vote, but I'll take your opinion under advisement if you have one.

              Does each one have a position paper, and some explanation of what they promise to do if elected?

              It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

                  Slate 3, I like the pairing of 10mi. then HM, and 5k then 10k.  

                  Carver 5, I just find the name of the other race annoying.  

                   

                  Falmouth seems to have a nice racing history, so I vote for that marathon.  (Of course, if this involves running for long stretches along the water, the sounds like an invitation to be push to and fro by the wind. In such case, I vote for the Manchester City Marathon).

                    Slate 2 with Cape Cod as the marathon. 

                     

                    Slate 2 gives the choice of Feb ice vs July's inferno and us loaded to the eastern side of the state...I'd go with slate 2. Cape Cod is a better course than Manchester.

                    Did an angel whisper in your ear and hold you close and take away your fear...In those long last moments

                      Uh, I'll have a number one with a side of Lone Gull, and a Cape Codder.

                      Jones 10 miler sucks, but Yankee Homecoming and Bridge of Flowers suck more.  Carver 5 miler is seriously fast once you fight your way off the line, there are like four turns on the course and one hill (with very unfortunate placement just before the finish but suck it up and finish for god's sake)

                      May the road rise to meet you, may the wind be always at your back, may the sun shine warm upon your SPF30, may the rains fall soft upon your sweat-wicking hat, and until you hit the finish line may The Flying Spaghetti Monster hold you in the hollow of His Noodly Appendage.

                        Hmmm the only one of those races I'm likely to run is Yankee Homecoming, so if picking that slate means more fast guys show up there, then I'm against it.

                        I put it under there.

                          I'm thinking the same thing EJ. Lone Gull with a grand prix field is awesome.

                            How long due the dues last? I might still be and I'm in a voting mood. Why doesn't this forum have a voting option or at least some sort of dice game? Or at least a golf snow globe for crissakes.

                                God I hate the Jones 10 miler. But it's been my best and worse races ever. Best in 2010. I set a Pr I am unlikely to ever beat. And in 2012 Jojo came into my life. Hopefully I will wise up and not try to do all again this yr. I like the cape for the Marathon but I did set a pr at Manchester once. I dislike carver. Never run a 30k. And March 17th means I now have to choose New Bedford or the Nj trail race I was thinking about.

                                well I voted your way Ej. Slate 1, Lone gull and CCM.
