2006 Tampa Bay Marathon...who's up for it? (Page 4)

Rich,

Do it!! DO IT! DO IT!!!

I just started running this year and I have foolishly bravely agreed to do my first marathon run ever! If I can do it, you can do it.

Wait 'til the petite little momma's go whizzing buy you pushing the twin strollers - that's a humbling moment.

Do it Rich,

    I am very heavy and very slow runner and will be doing my second marathon in a couple of weeks. It is not about how fast you are but that you are doing something good for your body and enjoying yourself. Nothing beats the feeling of the finish of a half or full marathon.

Ok, I have not been around for ever.  I moved from Ottawa Canada to Orlando and have not really run for about 2 months.  Anyway I have been back at it here in Orlando for about 2 weeks now and I plan to do some good training now that life has settled down a bit.  Wow big moves are hard!!!!!! Anyway 2 months with no running means my endurance now sucks!  So I will get going now and wait and see if I will do the 1/2 or the full in Tampa.

Renee, there is still BBQ involved in this deal right??????? I am not sure I can commit unless there is BBQ! 

Sarah, I was wondering where you've been! Sue and I (or maybe it was Jessica and I) were talking about you, wondering if you still planned to come for the marathon.

Karl and I are going to be planning festivities. I'm sure there will be BBQ in there somewhere.

betsybromley - 2005-10-08 3:15 PMdo the full and the 1/2 start at the same time/place?

yep, same start time, same finish line. Just turn around earlier from what I'm reading at www.tampabayrun.comI just signed up for the Half this morning!!!! AHHHH!!! My first half and longest run. To make me feel better I signed up for a 20 buck massage afterwards also.

Here are some ideas, and yes these are men's boots!!

I remember a certain rock band who wore those boots, soyeah they are mens' boots. :-)

now all we gotta do is find the outfit.  I think I have enough red fabric scraps.....

Well Run4yrlif????  What do you think?  Some of those boots are pretty snazzy!!!  We can get you some of those sports inserts for cussioning. 

In preparation for my FIRST MARATHON EVER, I will be running the 1/2 mary (X-Country at Alafia State Park) in 2 weeks (Jessica's gonna pace me!). There's another 1/2 mary the day after Christmas at the Sunshine Trail; told Jessica I will be running that with her.

Jess and I talked about socializing with BTers for the Gasparilla Marathon. Tossing out a few feeding ideas for now - Pane Rustica on MacDill for pasta dinner, Taqueria Quetzlcoatl for burrito lunch (we could quickly overwhelm the little place but that makes it even better!). Both are in the general vicinity of the race start.

Yeah!!!  You can do it!!

I'm doing the full and am very excited.  this is going to be a huge BT event.  I still need to register

Alright...I'm jealous. Maybe I'll do the 1/2 and can cheer on all the full's!!!
