OT: The Ann Arbor Marathon
I did a half at the University of Illinois a couple months ago. The finish line was the 50 yd line of the football stadium. I may or may not have taken a leak on the "Illinois" in the end zone markings...
But best of luck to all those participating tommorrow in AA. PR's for you all!
for me is Racine 70.3, so I intend on a few Go Blue screams through there as well. Anyone know where I can find a Michigan tri kit?
from riding the IMWI bike course today. I was in Madison for work and figured I would get a sneak peak at the course. I was kind of shocked that I walked all over Madison with my UM alumni hat on and not one person said anything to me...
Any other IM's in your future?
It was really tough to register for this one knowing I would miss the Notre Dame game but I guess I can watch it the night before...not like you sleep the night before anyway right?
The marathon is for wimps. Real men do this.
Not running this race, but I'm training to build up to a half mar in Sept. I've always just run 5K but I'll be doing my first 10K 4th of July, then building from there.
5Ks are painful aren't they? 10Ks and halfs are really nice as you can settle into your groove rather than just gunning it the whole time. I haven't done a full marathon yet, but plan on trying Detroit in the fall. That will probably be an all new kind of torture.
Yes. I live in Saginaw, so I'm running the MCVI Run For Your Heart. My 10K will be the Vaulkslauffe (SP?) in Frankenmuth. I may do a few others. Also planning to run the Warrior Dash this year for the first time.
Good luck to all those runners out there!
I ran the Dexter-Ann Arbor half last weekend and I really wish this race was NOT the following weekend. I'm too old to string these back to back and have to coach baseball later in the morning.... If Big House Big Heart is not going to happen anymore I'd like this to be the Ann Arbor Fall Marathon and stop stepping on the more traditional DXA2 weekend.
