Re: twin cities
I'm in, also in wave 1 - maybe we should have a party before the race starts :-)

Has anyone here who's run Twin Cities also run Baltimore? I ran that one 2 years ago and it was tough (mostly uphill from 16 - 23) but fair. I'm looking for a comparison between the two.

Seriously. I need outside perspective, too. Who doesn't?

Re: twin cities
I'm officially in, I guess.

Training is going well, laying down my fastest times ever on the track. But that can be meaningless if not race-proven. They are not races, just workouts. A 5k this week will let me know where I stand, though run on tired legs. It's training!

12 weeks? I think so.

Train early, train often,

d.

I'm thinking Monticello. Though not pre-registered.

Then the Lumberjack days 5k (no, not 10 miles, I'm trying to build some speed here, folks.)

and then it would be nice to see if I can improve my mile on the Rice Street the week after that.

Then we'll hit more strength-endurance work, and hopefully pop a nice TCM. Really came through Grandma's right on track, so now I just need to stay off the bench (Sometimes difficult!), and stick with the program.

Re: twin cities
STUDY LOOKING FOR RUNNERS PARTICIPATING IN THE TWIN CITIES MARATHON
Researchers at The University of Chicago, Graduate School of Business are conducting a study on the relationship between marathon performance and satisfaction. We are looking for anyone participating in the following 2007 marathons: Chicago, Honolulu, Marine Corps, New York, Philadelphia, Portland, or Twin Cities.
Participants will complete 3 online surveys, each taking 10 minutes or less to complete. The first survey will take place roughly 2 months prior to the marathon, with the final survey taking place after the marathons.
All participants will be entered into a random drawing for prizes including an 8 GB iPod Nano, a Garmin Forerunner 205 GPS watch, and a Bose SoundDock Digital Sound System.
For more information and to register, please visit our website at: http://faculty.chicagogsb.edu/george.wu/marathon/[/URL" target="_blank">
Please feel free to contact jbecker5@chicagogsb.edu if you have any questions.

Re: twin cities
well, now - how am I supposed to get my voyeuristic fix if no one will post their training and such? My own training is seeminly going really great, but who can tell? I'll know more in a few weeks. Dull, dull, dull, just a lot of running in this nice weather, eh? That's about how I feel. I'm ready for August. It's the best summer month.
