I figured that 770 was GRR...but I didn't know if any of you guys would remember from back then.

How about that game this past saturday 770? :-P

I'll check out the other forums...but I'm not sure if I'm running either of the ING races yet...because I'm planning on running Boston and really going after a fast time there...so we'll see.

Hey, Reggie Ball has been the best quarterback UGA has had the past 4 years. Too bad you won't have him around next year.

I agree 100%.....we're about to put a lot of money into our next idea...but we're really pushing hard to get Reggie in the Heisman voting!

After the game..it was almost like a campaign for Reggie...4 MORE YEARS!!

ha. But that Choice kid...he's good! What year is he?

Haha ... that's a good one. I think I'll pass for now but definitely something to add to the "to do" list. I think I need to hit Kennesaw and Stone Mountain a little more often and start getting aggressive against these "hills."

hi! I was wondering if you're ever going out for a slower run (I assume-- saw some of your training run times) at Kennesaw if I could join you?
I want to start running some trails, and would love to do so with company.
(I do better with others than myself... I go so slow doing what I do now, always training by myself.)

Also, I normally run the 7.5 mile loop at Stone Mountain... it is definately good for some hills.
Park in the Railroad Depot ( where crossroads is) -- turn left out of the entrance (actually you can run either direction... I think if you turn right, the run is slightly longer) Run until you get to the second water fountain and take the road across from it. Run until that road ends (around the 78 exit) and take a right-- will lead you back to the depot parking lot.
Very scenic-- and I find that this direction seems hillier (to me anyway) than the other direction for this route.


(I hope this doesn't double post-- but it wasn't showing up so I'm reposting)

Thinking about Brasstown Bald so may be there. If anyone has a link to the web site, let me know. I know from the cycling folks that its an average 12% grade with 18% in some sections. Ouch!

Hi! I don't know about the Bald run, but I'm very seriously looking at Twisted Ankle. That falls right when my schedule calls for a half marathon so it's perfect. Any thoughts on this one?

Here's the profile from the TA half last year. Note the scale. Most of those rolling hills along the top and at the start are larger than those in the Alpharetta HM and the Atlanta HM routes. My footpod came in at 13.9 mi but it really was right about 13.1. For mistakes, I went out too fast to start and cramped up on the big climb, never loosening up. It really was fun though.

Kennesaw is great training ground for this. I'll be there quite a bit between now and May.

TA is an awesome race. The half is the perfect distance. Mile 4 is the hardest - I believe the RD figured 34% grade for .25, but after that it's nice rolling hills, nothing too steep or technical, then a downhill finish, except for some baby hills near the end.

The Runner's World group is having the LoveFest again in 2007, but all are welcome!!! We've got runner's from all over coming in for the race - several from upstate NY, and even one runner from Canada!!!

Heat and humidity are also a big factor at TA.
