I spoke with my wife last night and she said she is "in" for next year.
And Venkman there is no shame in walking, at least that is what Runner Coug tells me (he must do it alot). The fact that you have finished at least 2 marathons from the sound of it, automatically make you way tougher than me and my one 1/2 marathon. I thought I was going to die after that one. |

If anyone's interested, we may have a spot open. Well, we do have a spot open, as one person backed out, but one of the guys thinks he has a friend who will want to run. If that fails, we'll need someone.

Because I'm horrible at pacing, I typically run the entire first 20 miles of a marathon (usually too fast), and then I'm forced to walk during the last 6 miles. But most running coaches will tell you that walking during a long race is a perfectly acceptable strategy. It's a good idea to walk through at least a few aid stations, you get more liquid in you that way.

It is amazing to watch the pros run a marathon and take water. Amazing what you can do when you actually practice those things. |

I've been doing 5k's at 3% inclines on the treadmill this week and 10ks outside. If I can get past my first leg (leg 5) I'll be fine the rest of the relay.

The Ragnar website said that they estimate the 2009 race to be sold out within a matter of days after they open registration on June 22nd.
Are they bluffing in order to encourage early entries, or do we really need to get in soon if we are serious? I can't imagine 578 team spots would go that quickly. |
