    Baystate is a double loop course, no?

    Me and double loops do not get along too well...

    Yeah, but not a full double loop. It's about a 10 mile loop that you repeat twice with a single out and a single in section.

    Tobacco Road Marathon in Cary NC on March 17th!

    I did the half there in 2011. It was my best half marathon time so far. Really enjoyed it. My only advice is to get there early. The parking situation was a bit of a mess, but maybe they've fixed that since then.

    Just did Fort Lauderdale A1A marathon on Sunday. I am not signed up for anything else, but I will do plenty of 5 and 10ks over the summer.

    Ran the Cornhusker State Games Energy 5K Saturday (bronze medal for my age division-got silver last year). Next race is probably either Bohemian Alps 50K in Sept. or Space Coast Marathon in Florida in December.

    Ran my first 1/2 marathon on the 13th as the final installment of the Boston Athletic Association's Distance Medley. 2:10:13 not bad and right on top of my goal of 2:11:00

    I've signed up for my first full marathon next July, the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon marathon. I'm planning on Boston's Run to Remember half marathon next may as my training schedule calls for a half marathon at that time and it's going to be a good time. Also since I'll probably do the BAA distance medley next year there will be a half marathon probably on Columbus day weekend again.

    We (my running buddies) are bandying around the idea of the Disney World marathon in January 2015 maybe even the Dumbo Challenge (5k, 10k, half marathon, full marathon over four consecutive days)

    I'm kicking off 2015 with a marathon (#3 for me) this Saturday, Valentine's Day, The Mississippi River Marathon. Three weeks after that, March 7, will be a 50K, the Mississippi 50 Trail run. Three weeks after that, March 28, a Half Marathon, the Viking Half Marathon in Greenwood, Mississippi. Then, I take a little break from racing until September when I'll be running the Berlin Marathon in Berlin, Germany. My name is in the hat for the NYC Marathon but we all know what the odd are of getting my name pulled for that! HA! Happy Racing, all!!!
