im running wineglass. i keep going back and forth about whether this was a good pick, but i guess we'll just have to wait and see! i had the same hesitation about steamtown last year and it was amazing. now im thinking i shouldve done steamtown again. or at least, something that was later in the fall than september. oh well. no going back now! lol

maybe 2013 ill do philly so i dont have to do long runs in august. blech.

I totally understand. It's currently 92* and it's not even June yet. This is why I'm making myself wait until October to train and I'm running a California marathon in February! I really think running in the heat makes you a stronger runner though. I'm sure it will be awesome. Have fun!

yeah, i tell myself that too...also i remind myself that it's may and im not acclimated to the heat yet. last year they had cold weather and downpours for this race...id prefer that to 92* any day!

Nice! I'm only slightly jealous. I don't start training for another few weeks, but I am definitely not looking forward to running through my first summer in DC.
