I'm in. I"m mostly a lurker but I love these boards. This will be my first marathon too. I'm very excited but also nervous.

Ooh rah! Congrats on getting in. I'm not running, but I live outside DC, so we may go cheer.

DH ran with a Coast Guard team in Nov. 2001 - it was quite a year to run that race. What stuck in his mind was that every time he went under an overpass, there were people on the overpass waving flags and chanting "U-S-A U-S-A." It has become a thing in our family, now we all chant U-S-A whenever we run under a bridge!

Congratulations! I would love to do that event some day. I look forward to your report for sure.

Have all sorts of fun with it and the planning too!

 

[syko]

Thanks for all the encourgement everyone.

Megan 2346, we will have to look out for each other!

Sk8ingmom, that's a great story, if I hear someone shouting U-S-A I will be thinking its you!!!

We are going to spend a few day in DC as we have never been, and then for my daughter stop off at Dollywood for the day on the way home.

I am running MCM with Charlie (Judy's -- aka Honeibee's DH).

This will be two MCM's in a row for me. My marathon PR is MCM 2008 (4:10:39). It is a challenging course to say the least. Best of luck training and please do some hill work too. My goal is to break 4 hours this year. A lofty goal given the course and challenges it offers to all.

I've started hill work, but only a couple of times a week as its a hour car ride for me to get to them!!!!

Looks like we might be able to have a mini WISH meet
