Good Bad & The Monkey
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
That best not be true!
Did you here that from Doug?

Striders folk apparently ain't happy about it either.
Right. They feel:
1) that the IRFTP folks are taking them on directly by scheduling a 13.1 the same morning as their (well-established) 10 miler;
2) that they will lose too many runners to the HM since most of the runners come from Nashville and that is where the HM is.
IRFTP has had a long antagonistic relationship with Striders.
Well, they will lose all the runners to the IRFTP 1/2 if they pull it, including myself.
I was looking to run a half in November. Clarksville though is the week before the scheduled TN10; no good.
And I do not/ have not run a IRFTP beings I'm a NS member. I do not like their course either.
Totally agreed, but I guess they don't want to put in all the effort and risk losing a lot of runners.
Why not Clarkesville? There is also a 20 on 11/7 at Montgomery Bell Park. I am considering that one.
I usually take a look at IRFTP results, and it looks to be a different set of runners from the ones regularly seen at
NS events.
I want to PR at 10 miles. Clarksville would leave me wiped out since it's the weekend before TN10.
Music City is the one I plan on running to set a 1/2 PR. Clarksville was to be a fallback if I failed.
I considered Chicamauga (M), but I like December for the full. I may now consider Huntsville 1/2 in November,
but I really do not wish to make 2 trips down there in the space of a month (RocketCity 12/12).
There is also a 20 on 11/7 at Montgomery Bell Park. I am considering that one.
Let me know if you find a map of this one.
Meh, $5 is $5...
