Philly half marathon in November.

Me too. :)

I was going to do that one, but when they moved the other one to Halloween, I said to myself 'Self? How often do we get to run a Half on our birthday?'

So, I  burned the last of this year's Race Budget on that one

Pistol Ultra Marathon Jan 2-3...but, I'm thinking of using the Rocket City Marathon in Huntsville, AL, Dec 12, as a warm up...

Which distance?  The Pistol was my first Ultra.  It is the race I was running when I met you.

Did you like it? If I can somehow finagle my way there I am considering it.

Ah yes, C.R. I will meet him soon. There are 25 Americans going this year; for the first time we hit the per-country limit.

I am really hoping I am not too slow for the race! The cutoffs are very tight.

It is a looped course all on pavement/asphalt.  However it is well organized and the volunteers were awesome.
I liked it for my first ultra, but not sure if I would run it again.  I'm thinking of running Tunnel Hill for my first 50 plus mile race.

Oh hey!  You kids running Philly, I'm gonna be at the 10 mile water stop w/Meri.

Hey, I just saw this from two months ago!  :d

I'm running the 50 mile option that they just added this year...the 50 all takes place at night to spread out participants...

Tell me about it!
