Marathon Tips?

NOT GOOD.

If I have to run the f'ing sidewalks, I am running this race.  I have not been getting up at 5;15am every single day but Thursday and running 6-16 miles to have these total idiots cancel it!

SO FRUSTRATED.

You won't be alone!  I've run over 1,000 miles since June to be in marathon shape.  I'll be running 26.2 that day, with or without the Tea Party's approval.

You are faster than myself   I have run 500!  Wow!  I took a big break in the spring because I had been overtraining.

My favorite Baltimore Marathon quote:

Old guy volunteer handing out cups of Deer Park water at water stop: "Here have some real water. None of that French crap."

My favorite marathon quote is from the old National Marathon. About mile 10, the Lululemon girls were holding up signs that said "you've got real stamina. Call me."

I called them.  It's not what you think it is...

Worst Parade Ever!!!
Run faster.  Holding this sign is tiring.
Remember, you paid to do this.
This seemed like a good idea a few months ago, didn't it?

Best of luck tomorrow to grateful, K8teebug, and anyone else running the MCM. It sounds like the weather is going to be near perfect.

I may be spectating. If you see a tall, devestatingly handsome dude with a 180 lb. St. Bernard just before mile 3, please wave.

Thanks ggw!  I'll definitely keep any eye out

Thank you!  I missed a sub-5 by 2 seconds, but felt really strong almost the entire race.  It was nice to run the whole bridge when everyone else was starting to walk.  Yay Hanson Marathon Method!

Now to work on beating Oprah...

Hope everyone had a great race yesterday!

I blew past my PR by 27 minutes and scored a 3:44!  I'm still in disbelief

I ran my first Tough Mudder a last Saturday (www.toughmudder.com). 10-12 miles of obstacles featuring mud, ice-water, fire, and electric shock. It was awesome.

Some classic "motivational" signs along the course:

- When was the last time you really earned a free beer?
- Quit complaining. Start Running.
- You're almost done! (at like mile 2)

Amazing!!!!  Congratulations!

Of course, my favorite sign from yesterday was the grumpy cat sign -

"They say running hurts - GOOD"
