I’m considering signing up for it. Never have ran that race but run that area multiple times per week. Knows lots of people running it. My plan has me running 12 so it would work perfectly. I’m just worried that I’ll get caught up in the race and start pushing it when I’m suppose to keep an easy pace. Few minor pains have flared up this week.
My goal for tomorrow's half was originally going to be negative splits - the goal now is to stay upright . The weather forecast is not looking so great for tomorrow morning...
Still contemplating signing up tomorrow morning and running it but perhaps knocking my miles out before the system rolls in is a better decision. Leaning towards being a spectator. Being out those trail shoes! Ha The weather might make it a memorable race!Negative splits runs have become my fav.
Fan…how’d it go? Weather cooperated for the first 90 minutes.
The first part was great. I think I was around 7 miles in when it started precipitating. The last 3 miles the snow was coming down pretty good and it wasn’t so pleasant. I was pretty wet and cold after the race. Negative splits didn’t quite happen but I was able to raise my HR the last half. Now I just have to run twice as far two weeks from today - hopefully it won’t snow for that race 😀
You definitely ran past me yesterday (I stayed until just about everyone had passed) as I set up shop on bench behind the condos/apartments in Saint Francis. Got a little chilly sitting there. You’ve probably mentioned in a previous post but what marathon are you running in 2 weeks? Enjoy a couple easier training weeks and have a great race!
I was kind of wishing I'd taken advantage of the early start at 8:15A - you didn't qualify for awards if you did that but I wasn't going to win any awards anyway. But it's good practice for marathons which may have bad weather also of course.I'm going out to Newport, RI for a marathon there. A good friend of mine has about 5 states to go and is doing that one so I decided to go and do that one also. She's traveling with some family and I'm going on my own but I will see her out there of course. This will be state number 10 assuming all goes ok .
We will both be taking out talents to the east coast next weekend. Only state #3 for me (only my 3rd marathon). I sure hope the weather is an upgrade from the rut we are stuck in here.
Signed up for the Indianapolis Mini Marathon next month. Easy drive to knock off a state. Not sure if I'm going to stick with the 50 state race goal but it's a good way to get out of Milwaukee for a weekend.Looking for a fall marathon. As of now, leaning towards Twin Cities. Has anyone completed that one? If so, how was your experience?

Are you running Boston? I just don’t want snow 😀
I am. Sifting through the logistics. With the later starting time for Boston, I thought I’d be able to sleep in a bit. Nope, need to board the shuttle for the start line 3 hours before my start time. 🤷🏻♂️
Indy includes a loop around the race track, no?Talked to someone last weekend that is also running the Indy mini.
Ran the Indy Marathon about 10 years ago this November. Morning cold gave way to a steady drizzle which eventually turned to sleet. And the course didn’t include a loop around the track. To say I was relieved when I saw the finish line in the distance would be a major understatement.
I’ve been pretty fortunate with race day weather. I’ve heard many say the miserable ones remain the most memorable.
I have been incredibly lucky as well. I think the worst one was rain at the Chicago marathon in 2018. But it wasn’t coming down too hard and the temperature was fine.
