Marathon Weekend 2019

[Baloo in MI]

My three favorite:
1) The Jungle Book
2) The Rescuers
3) Princess and the Frog

And recognizing I am a day late on this conversation, I just can’t help myself... I am a Phil Collins fan. Yeah he was overplayed and some of his stuff is way too poppy (is that a word?). But his early solo albums - Face Value and Hello, I must be going are really fantastic - IMO. Growing up I have so many memories of my dad playing these albums all the time. I still really enjoy them. To each their own I suppose.

Just do Gose's - that will through them off!

Well I am in for the beer...
I think running a mile the morning after my 1st marathon is wishful thinking.

 

[Chaitali]

Oh man, such a hard question! I think Lilo and Stitch is definitely on my list, along with Mulan and Up and Wreck it Ralph.

The mile will help with the soreness and the beer will help with the pain and a excellent warm up for DATW.

This is sage advice!

Running during a beer mile isn't always the optimal strategy anyway

I want to join in the beer mile & DATW! I’ll have to rename it SATW for me. I don’t drink that often so the S stands for sip.

Came up with a crazy thought to do the 10K in addition to the half. DH looked at me like I was insane.

I was thinking it was Snack!

It could! I plan on eating my way through the countries too

Who would be interested in a "unofficial" beer mile the morning after the marathon? For those who are unsure of what a beer mile is, you drink a beer at the start, run .25 miles. Drink beer #2 and another .25 miles and so on. I think the rules state the beer is supposed to be over 5% abv, but I am more interested in participation than that rule. Cans can not be altered in any way, and glass bottles are a bad idea. Location is TBD based on who is interested and where they are staying so we can make it as easy as possible for the majority to arrive at the running location. I know a lot of people dont have rooms booked yet, but if you do let us know so I can keep track of where everyone is staying for a central location.

I am a nervous type of person and already booked my room at the Contemporary.

I’m in!

Okay, well maybe. I haven’t even discussed next year with DH yet, and considering DS17 is looking at every expensive college in the South, we are supposed to be practicing conservative finances. So maybe. Or not. But probably.

And I’m thinking I’ll be at POR or POFQ.

I don’t drink so I would need to do the S(nack)ATW version

 

[Dis5150]

Yeah, I am not supposed to be looking at next year either but here I am, lol! I will do the beer mile, even though I don't drink beer DH just applied for a job out where I work and hopefully he gets it. He is WAY overqualified for it but he is just bored (retired) and wants to do something. Plus extra $$ will be great! So maybe the marathon is more of a yes than a maybe???

 

[SarahDisney]

This will be my first DATW, but I think the emphasis is on the "ATW" and the good company (the drinking is highly encouraged but not required)

NOoooooooOOOOOOooooooOOOOOOOoooooooo

Not a Gose fan? I had an amazing Lime Gose that I mixed with tequila and made the perfect beergarita, it was heavenly.

The Flavored Water division:
Miller Lite
Bud Light
Michelob Ultra
Coors Light

The I Don't Drink division:
Cherry Coke

Orange Crush
Diet Dr. Pepper

Can we have a wine division too? I mean if we are gonna get specific... And I don't think I could do a BBA Stout beer mile, but I would die trying.

 

[Dis_Yoda]

The more divisions we add - the harder this event will become!

 

[Nole95]

With all this talk of a beer mile, now I am getting all sorts of FOMO.

Darn kids school schedule next year coupled with marathon weekend cycling around to being a week later sort of messes things up.
