Well, I've signed up for my first marathon at Flying Pig, Cincinatti, Ohio.
Anybody else from RA going to be there?

I won't be there for 2014, but this year it was my first ever marathon. Was a really great event for me.
Kind of crazy that I'm also prepping for my first 5k of the year tomorrow and my goal is a 21:30 as well.
Good luck!

It's on my "bucket list" of races, for reasons I can't put my finger on.
But not this year.

Thanks! A good luck on your 5k.
I hear it is one of the better mid-western races. Plus, got to love a race shirt with a winged pig on it.
I did it last spring. It was my 2nd 26.2 I had a blast. Great support, nice route. Have fun.

Imminent Catastrophe
ONe of my favorites, very well-organized, great support, big expo, lots of schwag, and three of my fastest races were at pig. Once you get up that hill at mile 8 it's all down and fast.

I look my best blurry!
I won't be there but ran the half in 2012 and loved the whole event! It was a surprisingly beautiful course. I ran the half and then ran back the full course to run a friend in. It was so much fun! Skip theSkyline chili though! BLECK! Sorry Cincinnati! I prefer a Primanti's sandwich! I'll be doing the Pittsburgh Marathon relay that day!
I ran it so I could get the medal with the pig butt on the back. Seriously.
mta: Okay okay, I had 3 friends who also wanted to run it, too.
Live the Adventure. Enjoy the Journey. Be Kind. Have Faith!
not bad for mile 25

That is a nice medal. I pretend I'm not influenced by the swag, but...
