It's official, I signed up for the race this morning and I printed off my confirmation, so I guess I'm runninng. I wanted to save the $5 before May 1st - what can I say I'm a cheap accountant!

Now that the hard part is over (signing up) all I have to do is run 40-50 miles for the next 5 months. At least it will be warm outside.

Sounds good! It will be fun to possibly meet some RA people. There's a couple running Green Bay, so I may get the chance to see some folks there too.

Yep, I'm really excited to start meeting people. Rick and Mike "Q" should both be at a race I'm doing in 2 weeks...I think Cory/Corland and a few other peeps, as well. I'm really geeked! Big grin

I signed up for this race today (was really questioning Milwaukee or Mpls which are the same day and I live on the marathon route in Mpls), but could not miss a chance to run Milwaukee. I'm super excited. I'm not sure how to be "geeked", but I'm willing to try.

I haven't run it. Something new is so much more exciting than something familiar.
Looks like this is your first marathon? Your marathon plan on the other post looks solid.

Yup, my first. I had wanted to run Grand Rapids, but DH will be doing a JDRF benefit ride in Death Valley that weekend, so my second choice was Milwaukee. Will be nice, since my family is mostly in WI or the Chicago area. Smile

Hi Jeff and welcome to the group. I've never run the Lakefront either, but from what I heard, it seems like its a well organized race.

One day I have to run a race outside of WI because I've only done marathons within 100 miles of my house. It would probably be a blast to travel to a race.

Next year I'm thinking of running the inaugural marathon in La Crosse, WI in May 2009.
