taratru fuckyourcouch Just so you know, it's about 4.5 hours drive from Atlanta to Charleston. I don't know if that turns you off, but seriously, I'm happy to have either/both of you along for the ride.

Do you have any idea what time you'll be coming and going? Just to see if flights will work.

I'll take some late mile pick-me-ups too!  fuckyourcouch - we should chat, i'm a slower marathoner too  Perhaps we'd be similar paces.

[clseale]

We all know I'm good on my word for jumping in on later marathon miles. fuckyourcouch, I can assure you from Kiawah, that you would have an amazing cheer section. Also, unless the work gods magically gift me with a vacation day, I'll only be there Fri-Sun.

truth: skwcm80 was standing at the finish line handing me a beer as soon as tuggyruns and i crossed! :beer:  (too bad i couldn't stomach it at the time!) And arch01 hopped in the last 1+ miles to help us finish. We had quite the crowd at the finish line & we were the last ones to finish from our group

Yes let's chat! Training buddy!

Nope - if it means doing an airport pick up, I can leave it open and do whatever. I'm only about an hour from the Atlanta airport.

I saw ktzmoh's idea about a custom t-shirt. I know someone in my MRTT chapter that does custom decals. You can iron them on yourself. It's pretty neat and she makes great ones. Any interest? I'm not sure how much it costs, but I can look into it.

Yes! And we need our screen names across the back

If anyone else is leaving very early on Monday morning, let me know and we can coordinate a ride together.

I will also beg/borrow a ride to the grocery store sometime on Friday

we will probably all hit up the grocery store - especially since we'll be there one day longer than Kiawah!

[gt7301b]

Ahhhhh I'm in, nothing like a chilly vacation to make me plan another one. I read through some of the responses, but I was curious how my local ladies are getting to Charleston. I'm not opposed to driving, but I'd love to not have to take Friday off work. If I flew it looks like I could get a half day in before I leave.

I'm up for a custom tee - though I prefer to run in a vest if it is warm (above 15 degrees Celsius). I like the idea of the decal letters that you iron on.

Question for the group... is anyone else likely to be running the half in around 1:45 and wants to run with me? Or will people be running alone?

A vest? I think you mean tank I cannot wait to meet you and decipher what you're saying

[al320]

My flight time (arriving) just changed. This happened last year too. Grr fucking united.

I may be running around that pace. It depends on what I'm feeling like. I'm trying to go under 1:40 in a half in a few weeks and if that doesn't happen then I may use Charleston to go under 1:40.

gt7301b I'm pretty sure I'm driving so you're welcome to carpool with me. It should be pretty cheap if we split gas money.

I'll be around that pace, probably.  But I'm not a good racing partner, because I really don't talk a lot.  But if you just want someone to plug along next to you, I'm your guy.  

[ktzmoh]

If I feel healthy and good, and there's a pace crew, I might try for 145 !

I can coordinate decals etc. Do we all want the same tank?

My best is 1:40 but I'm trying not to be too ambitious with this one, but who knows!

Yes! I'm not that chatty when running and happy to run alongside in (mostly) silence. You can even wear headphones and I would not be offended.

I don't talk either. My H ran with me on Saturday and he was all "You're very quiet."

You guys, if we do a t-shirt (sorry for beating on this dead horse, but I just think it would be a way better memento than the actual race shirt will be), we should totally put our sponsors' logos on the back! I'm thinking of Bike Nashbar and Kinoki Detox Pads, of course. Who else has sponsored our fun board with their in-kind contributions of hilarity?

I will probably be right around that pace. My best is 1:40, but I'm not planning an all-out effort.

Yeah me too - I'm just hoping to enjoy it. I'll see what my pace is closer to the time. It may have dropped off what it is right now, which is fine.
