When is Parks Half? Do you like it?

I want to run Rehoboth this year too!

I love the Parks Half - one of my favorite races!  This year its on September 13th...a nice tune-up race while you're training for MCM.

Is anyone doing the Rock N Roll?  Any tips/advice are welcome!  This is my first full marathon. 

 I ran 3 of their half marathons last year.  I'm a little worried about the weather, but physically I think I am ready.  I got my 20 miler in last weekend.

Hey, how was your race? Tough weather conditions today!  I ran about 16 miles, on and off the course with the runners I coached this season.  They were generally unhappy,  but posted good times :)

Wow a 50K!  That's great!

I did Reston in March, my tenth (!), and have Erie (9/13), MCM (10/25) and Rehoboth (12/5).

Third time a charm for the 50K. Tried to run the HAT in March, but the course was a complete mud pit and I missed the 17 mile cut off time. Then injured my left knee in said mud pit bracing down all the hills and couldn't run by redemption North Face 50K run. So, I'm hoping Rosaryville will be my finish!

This year's fundraising is for Baltimore! I'm raising money on my own for Newborn Holistic Ministries. They run Jubilee Arts Center and Martha's Place in Sandtown. While some of the AA/NA philosophies have some religion, Jubilee Arts is secular. They are currently working on 7 murals in the city this summer.

Here's some info on the mural project

And the link to my fundraiser! Every dollar helps! Hoping to raise at least 1K.

So, wait, what terrible concert are you willing to attend in exchange for donations? I'm missing it.
