Hey, plan calls for a race this weekend - and I'm sick of fake races - anyone up for racing on saturday morning 10am - found this one that is cheap and close (but probably not the best race in the world - but it will do):

http://www.active.com/dayton-me/running/distance-running-races/dayton-community-5k-walk-and-kids-fun-run-2017?cmp=39-34-156210&ltcmp=254301&ltclickid=09_88821670_a0981e25-34a5-41ba-bf14-d98ac7d96835&cmp=39-34

Anyone up for it?

Maybe. Possibly. Perhaps.

 

Interesting. Near as I can tell that race is actually on the new track, though there's nowhere it actually says that for sure.

Somebody I work with told me that race is on the track. Not sure where he found this info though.

I was thinking about it before seeing it posted here. Still undecided.

Upon further consideration, I think I'm gonna say the nay no to that race. Tomorrow looks like the much more pleasant of the 2 weekend days for a "long" run, so that will be the plan. That said, I'd say it's extremely likely I'll do that Acton Applefest 5k next week.

Doug just ran a 3:23:44 at the Maine Marathon today.  Sneaky elitist bastard.  Great work and welcome back to Boston.

 

How do you change a 3.1 mile race into a 3.5 mile races ?

Ask Greg C

Skill, pure skill.

Just saw Coolrunning has it listed as a 3.5k which makes it look just that much better heh. Also, it looks like someone's phone number somehow made it into the results. I'm probably the only person who will ever look at them, though, so there's that.

In far more important news, WTG Doug, impressively doing Doug things.

Thanks.

GregM ran the Maine half yesterday and also had a good day. So congrats to him too. Nice to run in perfect conditions.

Looking at the weather forecast for Chicago, it seems the key will be to run really, really fast and get done before it gets too hot. There ya go, race plan set. You're welcome. Good luck.
