I have a racing buddy!

Well, at least to start the race and meet up for our beer after, LOL. 

My little bro signed up for the 1/2 I am also doing on 10/26. 

He's one of those annoyingly athletic people that does everything better than me. He's a former college hockey player, but has gotten into more endurance stuff like biking and running over the summer. 

I'm so excited to do an event with my brother

I did a half with my brother in the spring. It was his first so I was 'pacing' him. Meaning, I was holding him back until about the last 3 miles! It was fun to run with someone though - you'll have a blast (especially the beer part after!).

That's awesome!

Yeah he's way faster, so I don't anticipate him running with me for any of it. His casual long runs are around 7:00 per mile.

It will be fun for the family this will probably ensure we will have a cheering squad in the form of my parents and his wife, too

Awww!!

My brother and I ran a 5K together last weekend, he puked at the end

I think it's awesome your brother signed up. It's fun when you know someone running even if you only see each other at the beginning and end.

And because I see you're from MN, I am assuming this is the same race my sister is running. I will be there, but as a cheerleader since I am currently injured.

Oh boo to the injury! Most likely - the Monster Dash 1/2. I am a little nervous about how huge it is. I think it's one of the biggest in the midwest?


Maybe we will run into each other

Yep, that's the one. It's her first half and she's nervous about the size too. She doesn't plan on breaking any records but she's still excited.

If I get signs made, I'll let you know where I plan on standing along the route.

Yes do that for sure. My H and I were talking about him bringing the kids, but it will depend on the weather.

That is awesome Breezy!! Hope you both have a great race. :-)
