3:16 Marathon 2 weeks ago and 3:15 this past weekend...You're on fire! Way to go! Lynn B

Hey, those of us playing leap-frog with the bunny gotta stick together! How are you feeling? Have you ever run back to back marathons at this level before? What's next? Lynn B

Mike23, see you in Duluth! Or, more likely, I'll see the back of your shoes What are your travel plans? You may also want to check out this group - http://www.runningahead.com/groups/Granny Sounds like you need a November marathon...

This will be my third year in a row running Grandma's. Last year we stayed at the Best Western downtown, near the finish. We looked at the one with the waterpark for this year, but it is way expensive. I work for a week or so at a Summer camp in northern Wisconsin, about a 30 minute drive away from Duluth, so I may just come up on Friday for packet pickup and dinner, and again on Saturday early to catch a bus from Duluth. I have a bunch of other friends running, so I may also crash on the floor at one of their hotel rooms. Grandma's is a good run, with great support. Last year it was incredibly hot and humid, but that is atypical. How did you do last year? I came in about 20 minutes behind my goal time. Sheesh.

Ha! The conditions can't be worse. Have you been to Betty's Pies in Two Harbors? It is a great pie place that also has good food. You can grab a bite there and then drive the course.

Thanks very much. I really appreciate it. I'm hurting now, though. You guys are blowing by me in the quest for 2000. I tweeked my calf a little in the last race and will have to take it easy for awhile. thanks again and good training.

I'm tired just thinking about 2 marathons in that span of time. A 10 mile race and a 25k race 3 weeks later is certain to kick my butt! You're amazing! k
