Not I. Although I suspect I'll be there in support of mi esposa.

To that end, I'll try to set up at the 3k mark and yell "You're almost there!" when I see Strings.

3k? Heh.

Just like all those marathons where people yell "almost there" at me, just before the half/full split.

I'm out.

My nagging leg pain turned into crippling leg pain and i haven't run in 3 weeks now. diagnosis was 'medial tibia stress syndrome' which is doctor speak for 'you've got shin-splints ya puss'. didn't realize shin-splints could hurt so bad, but i suppose it's better than a stress fracture. guess ramping up mileage while running on chunky snow isn't a good combination.

hoping to still make rodes, we'll see how an easy jog this weekend goes.

I won't be there, but as I have to run 20 miles at 9am on saturday or risk missing the uofl game, I'm sure I'll get caught up in the exodus of that shit storm somehow.

Nice PR today, Strings.

Thanks! They changed the course and some logistics this year. Huge improvement (for a 8500 participant 5k race)

In fact, today's paper suggests it was even more impressive than I first thought. That's right, the dreaded "Anthem 5K Marathon".

Couldn't help but giggle at this:

"9,607 registered runners and 8,525 finishers"

Shoot me if I ever can't finish a 5k marathon.

It's probably because they didn't allow fat carts on the course.

MTA: Anthem needs to raise the price $5 and give medals to all finishers.

Also, it's a little odd that the piece mentioned that Wesley is running the LA Marathon in a couple of weeks, but failed to note that he is the defending champion and course record holder.

Not that that's more impressive that the Anthem, but still.

Fine work by the curious journal.

If you were at the fscking race to report on the the thing, you would have known about his win last year.

Why wait for a whole marathon when the race results on Active.com tell you everything you need to write a successful blog!?
