This week's races

OK, Immer is running the pig and Ron & Charlie are running Frederick this weekend if I remember correctly.

 

Anyone else?  Any other races?

 

I just found one that's running along my normal weekend long run route but registration is closed.  I was half tempted to run an easy half.  It's probably best that it was closed.





Obsessed with running and racing. It's all about the bling, baby! Suck it up and RUN!

Re: This week's races

I'm doing the Minnie 15K at Disney on Sunday. This is the last year they're doing it so I've done all three.

 

 

(I'm not looking at it as a race, I'm running it with some friends)





Dig deep, people, you can do it!

Kathy is doing the Long Branch Half. I'm in NJ Marathon/Long Branch Half limbo.

Re: This week's races

I'm planning to run Broad Street.  It won't be fast but it will still be fun.





We've come this far and it's still the same,
Runnin' out here in the rain.
Just one more mile, if only you could fly.

You get well and kick that sickness to the curb!

Re: This week's races

Good potential of what, getting struck by lightning?? As long as the rain pauses long enough, it actually is good for a half, which is what my body is currently telling me to do. Upper 40's to low 50's is what I consider marathon perfect, but the Pig's weather does look good. Thanks Jerry! Feel better!

 

Good luck Kathy, Karen, Immer, Charlie, Jay, Ron, and Mrs. Ron!

Re: This week's races

Thank you all for the well wishes...I can guarentee you I will break 4 hrs- ofcourse for a half thats not saying much. Im hoping if it rains its a nice rain- no lightning or torrential rain for me please. Im out there a long time so I really dont want to put up with nast y stuff. I will be using the garbage bag trick- and packing dry socks in my fanny pack instead of gu. Its so nice you all are so supportive of everyone- any suggestions on what to wear for a rainy half are welcome.

Re: This week's races

Thanks for the good wishes Jerry & Craig.  Craig, a half sound right to me too.  I had a pretty good 5 miles today so Sunday is looking better.  But I'm not making predictions at this point.  I'll know Sunday about 10 AM.

Good luck all you guys this weekend, lots of PR's please, that makes us feel good all around.  Jerry are you still not feeling well?  If not, get better quickly, we want you healthy and with all your good sarcasm in tact.

Re: This week's races

 

Thanks everyone for the well wishes and weather reports!  (But Craig, Mrs. Ron might get you slapped!  At least make it Ms Ron!)  And good luck to everyone else running this weekend, even where the pigs fly! 

 

 

Charlie and Jay - hope I get to meet you guys at the race.  If you hear someone near the finish tell you to "Suck it up!" you'll know it's me!  (Jay, a little background:  this goes a ways back, but Jerry and others lived by the Suck it Up! motto for the MCM - to the extent that many of them were running with actual straws on them so that other forum members might recognize them) 

 

 

BTW, Saturday I'll probably hit the expo sometime around 4:30.  My daughter has a violin lesson at 3:30, and we'll head over after that.  After the expo, I think we're planning on eating at Brewer's Alley on Market Street (this is the main downtown strip, Charlie).   They've got a great homemade mac n cheese topped with Virginia Ham that seems like a great carbo loading option.  I imagine the beer there is really good, too, but I don't happen to drink.
