1) I'm supposed to run 8-15K "tune-up" races on 9/9, 9/23 and 10/7 but there's either nothing happening or nothing very appealing here in town on those dates. For one of the dates, there's a race in Austin, but if I'm going to drive almost an hour I might as well drive up to the cities! So does anyone know of any cool races in the cities/suburbs on any of those dates?
2) Who's running Twin Cities? I drove up last year and parked at the half-point to watch/cheer and it was pretty cool. I'm strongly considering doing that again, but maybe driving up really early to get in my last 20 around the infamous lakes. If anyone wanted to join me for either the running or cheering, it could be a mini-MN RBF get together or something. Obviously it's awhile away, but just thought I'd throw it out there!

There's a nice 10K the Monday of Labor day weekend that I plan on running. I can't remember what my mileage is the day of Twin Cities, but I'm game for meeting up to run. I haven't gotten signed up yet to volunteer at the marathon, which I've done in the past and enjoyed, but any chance you might be game for that? Otherwise if I'm not volunteering, like I said, run might be cool and I'd definitely love hanging out somewhere and cheering for the runners. It's too bad you aren't going for a longer race, there is a 25K on the 10th I think that I'm going to run, just a slow run...

mg, I'm going to be in Mpls the weekend of TCM. I had tentatively planned to spectate w/ walchka because Rae and Brent were going to run it (but I think they are dropping that race and concentrating on another for this fall). I'm going to be there for the UM vs. UMn game. If you do decide to come up for it, let me know and i'll see what I can do to meet up with you!

You can count me it as part of the cheering squad.

I second a 10K on laborday, not sure if Danielle meant this one, but we usually run the Victory 10K on laborday. It's a fast, flat course and well run. They actually run a 5K a half hour after the 10K, and they offer a "double header" registration. Many running TCM will do this.
I'd join you for a RBF spectating meet-up at the marathon, although it's getting close to my due date, and who knows what can happen...

Your long run the other day was a very impressive solid run. I completely understand the whole body issue you were talking about in your last post. We are our worst critics. I would elaborate on your post, but considering I'm a little late in responding, I'll leave it at that. Have a great week.

Yes, the Victory 10K is the one I was talking about...and I'm debating about doing the 5 and 10K!! I'd love to meet up with anyone there. I'm doing at least one of them.

You must be on the Pfitz program. Yah, what a bear trying to find these tune-ups. Keep up the great training. And don't sweat LT hell. If it we're easy, it wouldn't be worth it.

Did you see that the course map is up for Chicago?
Looks like it's the same as last year--so no McCormick Place tunnel.

good luck racing tomorrow, MG! (it is tomorrow, right?)
