thom have you seen this one?

It's a little too early fall for me, but I think the course has changed since last year. It used to be in Sauk Rapids. I think. 

Now that I look at the course I am not a big fan of all the turn arounds. 

I did notice it last year. I wish it wasn't so early too. It's a bad time because it's usually late hay or silage time, and it can still be so hot. But, if it worked out I'd consider signing up last-minute.

I will be hoping for a half PR after a summer of 13.1s that come at the end of 70.3s.

This one - but not as fast. ;-)

I am doing the Harrisburg Half (as a 2 person relay) and the Tussey MountainBack (also part of a relay team). The MountainBack is a ultra marathon with the option to run as part of a 2-8 person relay team.

Hearing Tussey Mountain brought back memories of my skiing gym class at Penn State.

breezy8407 and @mn06 -- fun that you are both doing Monster Dash! I really need to run that one of these years.

I will probably sign up for the 10 mile lottery and see what happens.

And I join you in being jealous of Kiawah.

You should do twin cities marathon!

Or you can sign up for monster dash and I can come cheer on you, breezy8407 and @mn06 (complete with FSU signs!)

LOL I haven't thought about skiing at Tussey in years. I remember my first time at Tahoe thinking - ohhhhhhhhhh, so THIS is skiing.

MCM
Heritage Half or Wilson Bridge Half

I was planning to do the Heritage Half, but it moved up a week and I'm supposed to do 20 that day. I might try and run it at marathon pace and then do 7 more miles.

[venice2007]

Things I'm considering:

-Twin Cities 10 mile or marathon
-Mankato Marathon (Minnesota)
-Half or marathon near Madison/Milwaukee where one of my sisters lives
-Monster Dash Half

I grew up about 25 minutes from here and have always wanted to go back and do that one!  I see a ton of friends doing it each year and it sounds like a good one.  

I'm doing what I think is a small 1/2, the Surfside Coasting the Coast on Sept 6.  I have a feeling it's going to be brutal!  Then the Texas 10 in Katy on Nov 2.  I'd like to find another half local-ish to Houston for Oct/Nov, so if any of the Texans have any ideas...

Yes please!! 

I'm looking at Stockholm Half in September. Another GBCN'er is thinking about doing it too. Also, I'm considering returning to North Wales to do the Conwy Half in November. It's the one with the beautiful big run up a hill overlooking the Irish Sea. Here's the elevation graph...

Potomac River Run Marathon

Not sure about a half yet, maybe Navy/Air Force Half Marathon or do the Potomac River Run one in September. It seems there really aren't that many halfs in the Fall in the DC area. Any other ones that are good?

I like the Parks Half Marathon in MoCo, but it's not very flat, if you want a flat half.

DH ran the Air Force/Navy half last year and loved it.

Parks Half Marathon (Maryland) in September
MCM in October

[arch01]

Rocktoberfest-10/11 (my birthday!)
Kiawah-12/13

I'm just running Rocktoberfest, no pressure, no goals. Kiawah is my chance to break 2:00. I will do it, damn it!

[coconutbug]

I have my eye on the Run United Philippine half in Oct, but haven't signed up yet.

Have you done the Heritage Half? How is it? $40 for a half is a great price, so it caught my attention.

Wineglass Half Marathon October

[secretlyevil]

I'm doing the running leg of the Augusta HIM in September. I'm also signed up for Space Coast. If my training goes well through the summer, I may sign up for a third half at the beginning of November. That's a big if. I'm trying to be smarter after all.
