I was thinking of doing the Callaway Gardens Half in late January. Anyone ever ran this race?

Calloway Gradens....yes I've done this race before. You circle the course twice. If you love nature...you'll love it. I would recommend you keep up with the pace group. Or be sure to stay in front of them. Folks have gotten lost before.

Glitzee,

When I ran my first half marathon it was the Museum of Aviation here in Warner Robins. I decided I would run in it about 1 month before. I was like you....couch to 5k and 10k. I started by trying to run an hour and it hurt bad....but I kept with it and somehow ran a 1:34:00. If you can run a 10k then running a Half Marathon should be on your level. Competing is another story, however.

The Cherry Blossom that is.

Did they give a date for the half and 5k?

Counting down to the MoA race. Looks like the temp will be a balmy 47 degrees, according to the Weather Channel. That would be the warmest I've ever seen!
Josh, you defending your record this year?

Well, I got a nasty cold over the holidays so I went ahead and registered for the ING Georgia half on March 25. Is anyone else planning to run that? I looked at the Cherry Blossom Fest. website and they said they'll have the schedule of events up on Jan. 15. So anyone who's interested in the half, check www.cherryblossom.com[/URL" target="_blank"> in a couple of days.

Good luck to those doing the Museum of Aviation races!

Hi all...you guys havent' been posting for a while so I forgot about your thread. I usually post on the Paris, ON Runners Forum thread. Sorry to jump in here but I'm looking for some help. JSM has already replied (thanks...) to a thread I started last week looking for runners in Warner Robins. Recently I?ve been put on a special project team for work at our head office (in Fort Valley, GA) and plan to be staying in Warner Robins during the week starting mid-February. That means I?ll be away from home for my sping training (I?m training for an April marathon) and would like to find other runners in the area who might want to run a couple times a week at night, maybe 5 to 10 miles. If you can help me out, that would be great. I really don?t want to be running this on a treadmill at a hotel?It looks like I'll be in Warner Robins for at least two to three weeks a month for the next year to 18 months so I'm really looking for monday, tuesday, wednesday runners. I'll be flying home each weekend. A bit about me, I'm a 42 yr old family man currently running at about 7:30 to 8:00min/mile...so I'm no speed demon but enjoy the social aspect of running. I'll (try to) post my profile. Since Macon would only be about a half hour away...that would work for me. Any interest? I start my first three week stay on Feb 19th.
