Another Triathlon (maybe a half Ironman)
Psycho Wyco (a tough, mid-winter trail run)
Brew to Brew (maybe solo this year?)
Mad City Marathon (Madison, WI)
I'm looking for a spring marathon in the upper midwest so I can pick up my daughter in Chicago and then go run the race with her.
Right now, I've stopped any running as I await medical clearance on my foot. I went to see an orthopedic specialist to see if there could possibly be a stress fracture. X-rays did not reveal anything, so this Wednesday, I go in for a bone scan. So, I may take a break from running for a month or so or I may start back up next weekend, we'll see. The uncertainty has me back in the pool to keep in shape and thoughts of a 2nd triathlon are beginning to sprout.
Last night I received a call from the President of our local running club. He was actually asking me if I would be interested in taking over as President for the upcoming year. What, are they crazy, me? I've only been a member for 1 year and honestly, I'm more of a follower, not a leader. Well, frankly, I was honored that he even thought of me that way. I would like to be more involved with the club, but not quite at that level.
College Football
Around here, I'm sure there are many people that are quite disappointed with their favorite team.
Kansas - inconsistent and can't stop anybody
Missouri - not quite the offensive juggernaut they expected
Oklahoma - couldn't win the big game
But none so bad a year as the team I still follow, the Michigan Wolverines.
A few weeks back we had our annual Michigan vs Penn St party. One of my closest friends is from Pennsylvania and is a big Penn St fan. So, each year we get together for the game and the loser has to burn an item bearing the logo of their school. Since I've known Dave, I have yet to burn any Michigan gear. Yeah, eight straight years of watching Penn St t-shirts, flags, towels go up in flames. The tide finally changed this year.

Holy cow! Brew to Brew is 44 miles! Good god.
Tonnes of races in the spring, I can't think of any off the top of my head. (Ottawa is too far east I expect.)
Sorry to hear about your foot, gosh I hope that it is only a momentary lay up...
hmmmmm, I don't know any midwest runs sorry!
Good job struggling through the marathon and truly were they really playing Journey to the centre of your mind??? Now that is funny!
Penn State was SAD!
We are considering Green Bay in May. I have thought about the Mad City one, but when I read their policy of the flags at the water stop if the temperature reaches a certain point (I think it was 80, maybe 85) that they cancel the race.
Let me know about your running group you are in...I need to find one for training now. I hope your foot heals soon!
Hi KC just stopping by to say hello!
I ran a 10K this morning by myself. I so badly wanted to do it in under 1 hour. I did it in 1 hour 45 sec. I know i can shave time. It was windy. That is not my excuse.
Next year a marathon for sure!!!
Be well take care of your foot!!!
The burning of that flag is treasounous. Isn't there a state law on the books somewhere against that? Of course, you're not in the state so...
Thanks for your words of preparation and encouragement about the Route 66 marathon. You were right, the hills were brutal.
How would you compare Route 66 to your other marathons?
Is Route 66 about par for the course?
Have you heard anything about the Little Rock Marathon and OKC Memorial Marathon?
Thanks again.
Glen
