I have never ran a marathon yet. I am signed up fort he Champaign one ont he 11th, but...at what point do you sign up for something twice that you hve never done before?

 

Is that insane? Should I wait or will it be filled by April 11th to see how it goes?

Never second guess a margarita induced decision!  Beer or wine, yes, but tequila always speaks the truth.

Well, despite that fact that I'm not currently running due to knee issues, I still thought I'd be a great idea to sign up. I'm hoping it was not an unwise decision.  Gives me motivation to get this knee thing sorted out.

Just signed up...noticed a 7:30 start time.....did that change?  Always thought it started at 8. Maybe because of the heat the last 2 years???

Probably, but since I am signed up and can tolerate heat and HATE the cold, you can be assured that it will be cold and rainy this year.

can someone confirm this for me... I heard that they ran out of water "last" year.. in 2008... not the catastrophic year we all know about 2007... but 2008.  Someone said they ran out of water then too.  I have not heard that.

I ran this race in 2004 and it was great... I hope it's just as good in 2009.

yeah I have not heard about them running out of water in 2008 and I finished in 5:30.  They had a ton of water.  If they "ran out" I suspect its more of a case they were running behind the water stop break downs.

good to know.  I figured it might have come from a few "bad eggs" who realy didn't know the story, but choice to deliver it further regardless.

Thanks.!!... see you at Columbus/Congress... again, I'll be the girl in the dark short hair with black Nike shorts

No. It was awesome last year. I've never seen so many aid stations, so much water, and so many amenities. It was a great event... very well prepared.

And I can vouch, because I was at the end of the line. Supplies should be just fine for your speed,  Kat. Smile

If there was issues in 2008 like in 2007 I would not be doing 2009.  I almost did not do 2008 because of 2007.  I was that mad and figured I give them a second chance and that is why I was glad last year was almost as hot. 

 This year will not be hot because I felt I was robbed in 2007 so it was hot again in 2008. .
