I know zoom-zoom is running it, and she's effectively harassed me into running it too Big grin

. So I was wondering if there happened to be anyone else (rvelich, mayhap?) that maybe we could start a training group on RA to help keep tabs on each other. Whaddya think?

Just because running is simple does not mean it is easy.

Relentless. Forward. Motion. <repeat>

I'm game! Muse is planning on it, too, as well as backroadrunner. Hey, and I saw in Runner's World that it's on the 19th of Oct., I thought it would be a week later, since it is usually the last Sun. of Oct. I'm bummed...my mom has a 4 day weekend the last weekend of Oct. and thought they would come watch, but probably not, now... Sad

Possibly. I'm doing a full in April so, I'll see how that goes. I would certainly be inclined to do the half, if not the full GR. Thanks for thinking of me Mike.

I hope they are not the same day. Runner's World is showing the two races on the same day, but I wonder if it was a misprint. If not I think that's a major shame. k

Shoot...I just checked the site--looks like they are the same day. I wonder why they moved it up a week...that sucks. One less week of cool weather training and now less than a month after my favorite HM. I had hoped to have 5 weeks between the races, like I did this year. Now it's 4. Sad

Well thats a bummer. That it strange that they moved it, and to the same date as Det. even. Oh well, we should still start a training group. And by 'we', I mean, someone less lazy than me. Wink
