I love GTGs but nosomuch running marathons. If I can get my act together I could have 7 months to train for the half. Or be the best cheerleader ever.

As for flights, I'm Delta and would connect in ATL, if anyone wants to hook up at the airport!

You could either train for the half or cheerlead! It's possible I'll be KU by then, and depending upon how running goes I may be cheerleader/DD extraordinaire

Marathoners, half marathoners, and cheerleaders, are all welcome!!

al320 - In. I'm easily persuaded to do just about anything.


Also, @cheshire, I would love to do an international race at some point.

That would be awesome. Meet you anywhere in Europe!

I was just thinking that there's likely no way I could run that distance anytime soon, but I'd love to cheer you ladies on! You guys have been a huge inspiration to me the last year or so.

If youre in, im definitely in!

[texassmith]

Is there a Sunday 5K/10K in the area for ladies who want to do a shorter distance? That way they could cheer for the marathoners/half marathoners at the Saturday race and vice versa.

[al320]

The internet tells me that it's only 15 miles south.

ETA: It's in Charleston county.

I think it's about 15 miles as the crow flies from Charleston, but it's probably more like a 45 minute drive from CHS. 

ETA: Kiawah is kind of off the beaten path, but it's gorgeous.

Sweet!
Seriously if anyone ever comes over this side of the pond, let me know!

[emuni04]

I would LOVE this...but it's right around my daughter's bday/Xmas/$$$$$ time. Boo. But I am open to future get togethers! This race looks awesome...

[Wines Not Whines]

I could potentially be in, but it depends on our holiday plans.

I might be in Germany later this year for a work trip for DH.

[tuggyruns]

This race sounds amazing! I'm in!

It's going to depend on a couple of factors, but if things are as I think they will be, it is highly likely that I can make this happen! I may be pregnant which means I'll be the best damn DD in the East. But, that also means I will run the half or less or nothing at all (maybe I'll host the ice cream olympics instead).

[chw57]

I wish there were more of us on the west coast :/

It will be a month after I do the full in Savannah, and 4 months before Boston. I'm definitely only in for the half. If you can't do either, we'll make fun signs for you told hold, & I'll totes go for a medal in the ice cream Olympics, after the race.

I love traveling for races. I'm pretty sure I can swing it, but I'll have to run it by Mr.Kirkette and make sure we have no overlapping travel plans.
One question, how cold is SC in December?
Remember, I'm coming from sunny So Cal.

Coastal SC? You're probably (typically) looking at highs in the low-mid 60s. All of the awesome houses have hot tubs!

I have the same caveat, but I'll be there nonetheless!

Mr. Kirkette was supportive, so lb2006 if we're really doing this, I'm in.
Please let me know if this is really happening, so I can officially register and make cross country travel arrangements. 

I'm a definite. PM her your email address. We have an email discussion going on.  

[hannahb]

Can I get in on these emails? Talked to the husband and he thinks we could swing it. I need to talk to my parents about childcare but if that all goes ok I'm in.

PM lb2006 with your email address. 

[jchokie79]

Just PMed lb2006. It would be really awesome if we can get a group together for the race.

This would be my third this year, not sure if I can handle training literally for the entire year. I have a Half next weekend and another one in Sept. but I'll try.

Love Kiawah and it is a bucket list Half so it's a good possibility.
