Probably not Rec-Plex October.  That is the weekend before my wedding.  I don't want to risk any possible chance of not being able to walk down the aisle.  I think I might do Ballwin or Alligator Creek.

When's the Rec-plex October (beyond the obvious October). My husband's family is in St. Peter's, so it might be a good excuse to make a race there. Bonus, no hotel charges!
