WISH team coming to your area!

Pat--I think Crater of Diamonds is around an hour from LR. I've actually never been there. But on our way down to Houston for Thanksgiving I saw the exit off of I-30. Maybe susie knows. I really enjoyed the LR race. There is a lot of crowd support, lot of church congregations line the streets after services downtown. If you do decide to "do" LR, make sure and pay the extra $$ for the VIP tent. I was supremely jealous last year, b/c I didn't spend the $20--they had some GREAT stuff!

Stephanie - Thanks for the info on Milwaukee. I knew there was one, I just couldn't remember when. If you do Fox Cities, I may do the 1/2. Appleton is only 1 1/2 hours from me.

Oh dear... Here I said I was going to cut back a little... BUT THERE ARE SO MANY RACES!!!!!

Stephanie - Be sure to look for the MCM booth at the Disney expo. Last year Chester and I picked up a pre-registration card. Sent it in way before the official registration started and didn't have to worry about it filling up.

Actually I think I stayed at the Marriot Courtyard last time. I didn't realize that it was one of the hotels of the 1/2 marathon. It was right across from the same road the expo center was on. It was a handy location, but it was pretty expensive. My husband and I were celebrating our ten anniversary at the time, so it was our treat for ourselves!

I am not sure where we are staying next year yet.....I'll try to find out.

Hi Beth,

Have you made your reservations yet? Keep me posted.

The Ocean City (Maryland) Marathon is cancelled this year due to construction issues. It is being replaced by a half this year. The date is not firm but it will most likely be in early April. I would love to do that one.

I am already signed up for the NJ Marathon on 4 May in Long Branch. Everyone says its flat and well organized with an ocean front start and finish.

Still trying to talk DW into training for either the TOT or the WDW half.

for those who want to make a trip to Philly but dont like the idea of training for another full or half (or waiting until fall) in the spring they host the Broad Street run. its a 10 miler straight down broad st. with bands at every mile etc. Its a really fun one!


I am also consderingthe Runners WorldHalf Marathon in APril which is very close to me in Allentown PA. smaller race and very scenic rural course.

 

[EPCOTDUDE]

I was not aware of a half in Allentown. I may choose that over the Ocean City Maryland. Thanks for the post.

I ran the VA Beach Rock N' Roll Half this past Labor Day weekend and really enjoyed that race.

Thinking about this one as a kid-free weekend with DH. Hotel rates are a bit icky though.

Anyone have other suggestions for a Labor Day or Memorial weekend half?

Madison WI has a Memorial weekend half.....I am seriously considering it, and Jen said she would almost definitely do it (pending kids schedules) if another WISHer did it! I just have to find out when my DN's graduation party is - if there isn't a conflict I am in!

Now that the WDW is over I was wondering what's next? I'm still going to Va.Beach for R&R half.

I don't have a half, but Mackinaw Bridge RUn (5 miles) is Saturday of Memorial Weekend.

Gee Mel, if you postpone it until 10/19 you can come do MDI with me. I am going to need some moral support, especially through the hills. Oh and someone to talk to for all those miles!!!
