April 21 ...local 10K May 26 Marathon Bayshore Marathon in Traverse City Michigan

I am also doing the Bayshore but I am doing the 1/2. Have you done it before? The course looks like it will be beautiful!

I plan to run my first marathon in the Fall, but I haven't registered yet. The options are the Atlanta Marathon (Nov 22, 2007 - Thanksgiving - Yikes), or the Chickamauga Battlefield Marathon (Nov 10, 2007). I'll probably run the Chickamauga, because I may not be in town on Thanksgiving, and I'm not sure I want to run a marathon on Thanksgiving anyway!

I have heard that this race really is beautiful. Someday I think I would like to do the full marathon...once I get to the point where I am doing races of that distance. Smile

Wow, the Bayshore course looks nice. Plus, unlike the Cherry Fest 15k (which I recommend), they don't make you run across the peninsula on McKinley Rd (aka Mt. McKinley), which is pretty darn tough...

On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

not really a race, but i'd love to do the annual Bridge Walk this year....Each year, i always think "man, that would be fun to do" but i never get around to actually making plans to be up there. They do have a lottery to select 300 people to run with the Governor at the beginning, but you have to complete an event endorsed by her council on fitness, and i can't seem to find anything in my area that would count.... http://www.mackinacbridge.org/annual-bridge-walk-7/ *just found the page with endorsed events and it looks like there are several around here that can be done....hmmm.* **double hmmm.....this race looks like fun...http://www.beatthegrandpa.8k.com/index.html and it supports our area zoo, which could sorely use the fundage. ***

I recommend the Chickamauga. It's a beautiful course thru the monuments in the Chickamauga Battlefield National Military Park, great support, excellent postrace food. Small and friendly. Oh, and it's fast, too.

I second the motion. Chickamauga is a great marathon. It is small, pretty and well managed. The course is a bit redundant, but that is the only negative. There was a fabulous post-race shmorgasbord. Chickamauga is also a great last long run for a certain November 18 marathon just up the road... Cool

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

I agree with these 2 about Chickamauga instead of the Thanksgiving day race. The half marathon and Thanksgiving day is well supported and has really grown over the last few years. The marathon normally has about 1000 runners but support is not teh greatest later in the morning as a lot of the people have gone to spend time with their families. I don't think it would be a great experience for your first marathon.

That really DOES look fun! I think it's a week before the Seaway Run...might be kind of fun to do the zoo run, too. Big grin

Hmm. I was considering going to Groton on Sunday for the GP 10K but maybe I'll go to Dedham instead. Shorter ride, and I can register on site so it can be a gametime decision whether I go or not. Maybe I'll see you there, MC.
