    There is a nice marathon in Wisconsin on Sept 20th. The Fox Cities Marathon.  The weather looks decent and I know a really cool chick who is planning to run the half who would probably buy Dave a beer after.

     

    My coach has run that one and he said it's flat and fast.

      We should all go run it.

          I like it cold. D might need a snowsuit.

            That was on the 50 dose.  I assume he is not in that one.  But he should be better in 3-7 days, depending.

             

            I have 10mg tablets, starting at 60mg/day.

             

            Looks like the next one in close driving range is Bellingham Bay Marathon on 9/27, about 1.5 hrs away.

            Not sure I am crazy about the elevation profile, but I guess I can't afford to be too picky.

              150' of elevation gain over two miles is more of an incline than a hill.  That's maybe a 2.5% avg grade?  Looks pretty flat to me except for that initial climb, which still isn't too bad.

                Hello?  I like it cold too.

                  Oh, 60mg/day should be fine.  I take 50mpg at once but that's when it's absolutely necessary and only once.  You should be fine in 2-3 days indeed.

                    Uhh, first of all, that is too late. And second of all, what is that at mile 14.7? A mountain?

                      That would give a great comparison to a Boston time. The profile is very similar, though Boston's hills are a little bigger.

                        The 50 foot walls at mile 6 and 24 would destroy me. They go straight up into the air!

                            Hmm, I was eating mini tarts like they were going out of style last fall. Talk about carb replenishment; that!

                              Statement from the website: "some hills but virtually no net elevation change". Pretty meaningless, you could say the same thing about climbing Mt. Everest.
