Grandma's ... Here I come!

[thom]

Ack! I've never done marathons closer than 11 months apart. We'll see how this 6 week apart thing goes. I registered this morning.

I'm prepare to soak in this beautiful race and just see what the weather and my body feel like on race day. I think I'm also in for culture shock. 400 runners earlier this month vs. 10,000 at Grandma's.

Good luck! It sounds like a fun race! You're going to kill it.

[kams]

Awesome!!! I bet you'll love the energy and have a great race!

[bostonmichelle]

Good luck!!!

[jene]

Good luck! You will kill it!

[clseale]

Woot woot!!! I have heard so many wonderful things about this race. I think you might like the slightly larger atmosphere. It's a lot more than 400, but it's not like you're jumping into a 20,000+ race. It might be a happy medium for you. You're going to kill it!

[breezy8407]

Yay! I am so excited.

PS. I think my friend who ran Wobegon is going to do it, too.

[runblondie26]

Good luck! Sounds like it'll be fun!

[thom]

Thanks, all! I love that it's a big race where you can still sign up 3 weeks before race day. I suppose because it's a smaller city with no major population center close by. The 1/2 is a lottery though.

Now I've just got to attack 18-20 miles this weekend and head into taper again. Maybe this will cure my marathon big for awhile too!

[cinco]

Yay! I've heard so many good things about this race!

[runaways]

I've heard great things about this one too. I know you've said you're at peace with not going sub-4 on this one, and I bet going in with minimal expectations is going to lead to a great race!

[skwcm80]

You're going to do so well!

[G22]

Good luck!! You'll have to share how it feels doing them so close together. My 2 this year are 3 months apart and I feel crazy for doing them that close

[sadlebred]

I've heard it's a really fun race!!!

[jamalynn]

Good luck! Can't wait to hear about it.

[hannahb]

I too have heard great things about this race. Have fun!

[secretlyevil]

Grandma's is going to be my little sister's first marathon. She ran her first half marathon in February... This sounds like such a great race. Have fun!

[taratru]

I really want to run that one someday. I bet you will crush it!

[badgergirl66]

Yay! Good luck!

I have a friend doing this one and have only heard great things about it.

[chw57]

So excited for you!

[shelbyann]

I have heard so many good things about this race. Enjoy it - can't wait to hear about your experience!

[CallingAllAngels]

Good luck! Go FSU!

[blndsnbrdr]

Ahh! This is awesome! So excited for you!

I've only spectated the race, but it's such a fun race!

Fingers crossed for great weather!

[thom]

Well gosh, I'm hoping this race is 1/2 as awesome as many of you have heard.

Any tips, stories, etc to share? I've read a bunch of reviews and I love Duluth, but that's about all I know.

[emuni04]

Good luck!
