the g n r response was nice wes but it sort of dates you
you could always respond with korn instead
Fuck you! I'm fed up with you.
I'm not as good as you? Fuck no, I'm better than you.
but that might date you as well....
what do the angry kids listen to these days

Looks like I am doing a half marathon in Oct...
I don't know about that one. I seem to be coming up more than a little short these days.
Which mini are you running?

C-bus, as a relay though, so only half. Is there an easier half? Anyone know?

the chicago half
seriously.. flat, fun, good city, good organization (or so it seemed to me.. it was my first race).. plus its in a decent time of year..

Paul3eb, Are you getting commission on people you get to sign up for the Chicago run?

haha.. no, but i may be unfairly biased to chicago. i do know, though, that it's considered one of the better ones and one of the flatter ones by other people, too. hopefully the fact that i love chicago isn't clouding my opinion too much

Someone else can correct me, but I haven't seen many hills in Cbus (maybe a few waves).
Indy has a full and half marathon in October (same race, but some people stop after 13.1 miles). It's ridiculously flat in Indy -I get depressed thinking that. I might run it, but it's a good month for climbing ...

Louisville Marathon is flat & fast. They have the half & the full & it's on Oct. 16th.

Yep, I worry a little about missing climbing time to train as well. Wonder how well I can do just bumping up my current running a bit, with maybe a few longer runs in Sept.? Would like to run under 2:00 though, so might have to start running at night or in the mornings more.
merrick, Sometimes it is best to just go with a time proven classic, although there is some pretty good newer angry music out there.

Wes, let's take a look at the situation:
1. You live at the Red.
2. You don't have a standard 40+ hours work week.
3. You can't climb seven days/week.
I think you have time to train. You'll probably have to miss one weekend for the race and then the 1-2 days of recovery.
