I hear that there are some Masters Running Forum members who are thinking about Monkey, but worried about the registration process. As I think about the registration process for this year, it would be helpful to know who is interested.

Roll call? Smile

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

I'm in! I'm also thinking of running the Moab Trail Marathon, but Monkey is 2 weeks later - should be enough time to recover.

Me, too! Carolyn - why don't you fly into Dayton and we can drive down together and share a room at the Microtel? DH offered to go with me to keep me company, but I know he'd rather stay home if he could.

Excellent!

Arlahile - the beer and feast at the end made it all worth it...sadly, last time, I had to leave rather quickly to get on the road home...this year I will stay an extra night, enjoy the festivities, and drive home the next day.

My sentiments exactly.

.

.Now if I can talk DW into a trip to Nashville, I'd love to make up for my no-show last year.

.

.Looks like training for this marathon that CANNOT be trained for will begin soon.

Guess that makes me a maybe, too.

Holly - it looks like a 5 hour drive from Dayton to Nashville - I'd probably just fly to Nashville, unless Dayton is cheaper. But maybe I could time it so you could pick me up at the airport, and we can share a room.

Carolyn - ever hopeful that Trent will let us in, I just made reservations at the Microtel for 11/17 and 11/18. Only 10 minutes from the start or something close to that, and $53/night plus tax - can't beat that! I stayed there last time and was very pleased with the accommodations - clean, well-kept, nice breakfast, etc. Very happy to share with you, and yes, if you time it right I might be able to find the airport.....

Dear wifey has a good friend in NashVegas that she's been wanting to visit, so there may be a consensus for a visit. I'm running for a PR in NYC what, 2 weeks before? Against every fiber of logic in my being, and completely lacking any common sense, I am going to try and make it.
