Marathon Weekend 2026

[cburnett11]

Pick it up….Class of ‘76

You win!

I put a oyster knife in the web of my hand between the thumb and index finger?. I got medical super glue at the urgent care that day lol.

MY screen name is from the area around town where I get a lot of my long runs done. Around LSU campus and the lake system as part of the BREc parks. Really nice part of town.
My avatar is a picture of my son and I's camping set up from a trip a while back. I really enjoy spending time in the woods with him as there are not digital distractions.

That lake area around campus is a beautiful place to run.

Class of '89 here! LOL

Is this a safe space to say I was born in 1990?

Shhh..... It's the Millenials' role to smile, nod and keep silent right now, in the hopes that Gen Z will pay it forward to us one day.

As we near MW, this morning's coffee is brought to me by a mug from my very first ever marathon. The coffee is good this morning...

My husband and I love to run around the LSU lakes and the BREC parks around the city.
My screen name is made up of our initials and the year we were married.

Do you run with the Varsity Sports run group any? I am going to try to make it this weekend where they are running the back half of the LA marathon course. I have 18 planned this weekend, let me know if you are going to be there. It would be nice to meet a fellow DisBoard person and someone from town.

I do enjoy trying to keep up with the Varsity group and Happy's Run Club.
This weekend we will be in Biloxi for the 5K and HM during FreshJunkie's Gulf Coast Marathon Weekend.

Yes. I graduated before many of you were born; actually, I graduated before many of your parents were born! You have a lot of years before you can brag about being old!

SAFD: My username is obvious. I love Disney! My avatar is an old picture from a Lake Hartwell Dam Run years ago. I suppose I should change it, since my hair has changed from brown to whiteish-gray ever since Covid!

Good luck this weekend! Looks like the weather should be nice.
I never had a chance to run with Happy's due to my work location and time I am allowed to leave work. The weekend runs I try to make but young kids in sports usually have me running very early to make it to their sporting events. But if you go often I am the tall 40 ish year old guy that used to bring my brittany spaniel with me. Shes in recovery mode after tearing her ACL and wont be able to start running again till late winter / early spring. Next weekend they are doing Yassos 800's I think and I have a 20 miler so I dont think I will participate in that work out. Hope to get a taper run or two in with them. If you see me say hi. I'm Jerry btw.

You gonna start handing out butterscotch candies soon?

I may, or may not, have a wide variety of hard candy on me at all times.

 

[WDW 4 ME]

One of my friends carried a cheese cup for over 11 miles during the W&D half this year, just so he could hand it off as a surprise to our friend that was spectating, who loves those cheese cups. Said cheese made it into a few course photos!

clearly he understood the assignment! That’s uh-MAZ-ing!

Slightly different topic....
I don't care for tattoos, and particularly not for me. and my family knows this as some of our kids have gotten them.
Which is why it would be very entertaining to come back with a realistic looking temporary tattoo on the back of my calf. I rarely wear long pants anymore due to working from home, and likely will be in shorts when I get back to the house from MW. The looks on their faces will be priceless if they think I got one during MW.

1. Any good source of running related temp tattoos? The ones on Amazon are... lacking
2. So I'm thinking maybe a 26.2 one?
3. But I only need one, so if I get a sheet of them, anyone else want the extras?

representing Gen Z here… my birth year starts with a 2!

Also SAFD: my name and my confirmation name, never usually taken when making a username

I'd suggest checking Etsy.

Haven’t tried them, but heard about them on the Rise and Run Podcast and Stride Sisters podcast - One of the Stride Sisters has a temp tattoo company:

Thank you! I remember hearing about this at the time and had forgotten about them.
This should be good.

Question for you more experienced marathon weekend marathoners - Anyone know if it's possible to pop into Boardwalk deli at mile 25 to pick up a breakfast sandwich?

They open at 7, so it should be fine!
