We're so "fun," it's scary! Glad you're joining us!

Fun, nuts, scary, it is all the same.
WELCOME!

Kat, you NEED to get Chris to run this. He'll understand and appreciate you even more than he already does.
Oh Jerry, Chris is a marathoner, he did Chicago in 2006. Antarctica was his idea, he signed up like 8 months before I did. And he's the one who does adventure races and all that other crazy stuff. He understands!! (He couldn't believe after MCM I was able to walk up the three flights of stairs to his condo... he said it ook him 5 days...I know I earned a little respect there!)
I do today what you won't, so tomorrow I do what you can't.
Up Next: Rest! And celebrating my JFK50 finish with a vacation in Roma! | My Running Blog
I can't believe you guys are missing the obvious answer... do both Charlie!
Nita, woo hoo, another one on the pre-marathon marathon training program!
Kat, Chicago is two weeks before MCM too!
Nita! I just found out about one the first weekend of October in the Wichita Mountains! They have a half and a full, plus a marathon relay!
Cool! Got any info on it? I was searching for a Texas one and couldn't find anything. I was just on the St. George Marathon website, Oct. 4, thinking hmmm, all downhill, three weeks before MCM. Wouldn't that be nice to BQ before MCM and just be there for the party?? And I really do like the smaller, quieter marathons better than the big ruckus, which I guess is opposite from most.
Craig, y'all are bad influences... but I admit, I don't dread the long training runs now.
I don't know anything about St George, but here is the link for the one in the Wichita Mountains:

I dunno, Kevyn, I don't think I'll be BQ'ing on anything called Spirit of SURVIVAL... I don't know if I can handle another wilderness run after that last half-marathon w/you and Jimmy. And this is in the course descrption:
While 19 hospitality aid stations providing beverages, food and first aid will line the 26.2-mile course led by official race vehicles, it is important to note that buffalo and longhorn roam free on the open range and are considered dangerous. While these animals are generally docile creatures, all runners must be aware that the race is being run on a national wildlife preserve and animal encounters are possible.
Ha! Just think of the speed you could pick up while running from the buffalo

Hmmm... how'd I miss that?!?!? 
Well, good, I'm glad he's going to run it. Is he fast? Do I need to beat him too?
Obsessed with running and racing. It's all about the bling, baby! Suck it up and RUN!
