Good Luck. Hope you enjoy Columbus Darrell. It is a great race with a nice course.

I'm doing a local 10k downtown. I think this is my first 10K of the year.

My wife and I are running the Runners World 10k tomorrow in Bethlehem, PA. It will be my wife's first race, so we are pretty excited.

Good luck everyone! I've got my first half since May on Sunday - Denver Rock n Roll. I'm getting a bit nervous.

I did the 1/2 at columbus, was supposed to be the full, but had some life changes over the last couple of months. Wasnt the best, but I did finish. Time was 3:09. Still have the final goal of completing the Dopey!!

I also did the Columbus Half and like D was supposed to do the full. Unfortunately, I was injured in August, so dropped down to the half. Took it as an easy pace last long training run before the Wine & Dine. Was astonished and thrilled when I squeaked in under 3 hours....and I do mean squeaked. My time was 2:59:51.

Great job, everyone! I had a good training run...alllmost hit my goal marathon pace for the race, so I'm feeling good heading into a little break before picking it up again.

That was about the date of the other 1/2 wasnt it, the one I met you at? Did you get injured then?

Glad to see you are back at it!! Heck at some point I probably saw you just didnt know it.

I had gotten hurt the week before I met you doing the Scioto Miles 10 miler. I walked the half where we met rather than doing my usual run/walk. At that time I had no idea how long the recovery was going to take. It has been discouraging and I'm still not able to handle any speedwork. At this point all I want to do is have a nice easy race for the Wine and Dine in 2 weeks and bring home that medal. It is the only WDW half I haven't done, so really excited!
