There are hills and everyone talks about the Bradley hills but I don't think they are as bad as everyone talks about. It's challenging but not crazy. It's an amazing race because there are SO many people there. The biggest race I have ever been in.<br /><br />Brooksie - I think the brooksie is harder than Crim but also a great race.Detroit Runner(Jeff)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11685917189914214877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592755595247951740.post-8674597922345473732011-06-28T13:46:50.451-04:002011-06-28T13:46:50.451-04:00Jeff, Great job on the race!

Not your pace, but I did work that day. <br />Now for my questions, you mentioned the brooksie way race, and the hills. Are you familiar with teh Crim route also ? In your subjective opinion, how do the hills/routes in Flint compare to the northville route? <br />Thanks and great job<br /><br />Mark<br /><br />P.S. I wore my 10k medal all over the house sunday harassing the familia by saying "I thought everyone was wearing their medals today"...was pretty funny.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09243183666632984510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592755595247951740.post-83030249697317149202011-06-27T11:16:05.723-04:002011-06-27T11:16:05.723-04:00Wow, great job Jeff!

I thought of you guys though. That is one sweet medal!<br /><br />My husband and I ran a half marathon today...GR Marathon hosted a half to benefit Joplin, MO. They had a half planned there but they couldn't run it due to the tornado damage. All $$ went to them. We even got their bibs and medals. We hadn't planned on running 13.1 (especially since my husband is not a runner and has ZERO training) but we ran/walked out way through it in a pretty respectable time 2:36. It was such a nice run.tahoegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01362617498229659452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592755595247951740.post-91716264967373897052011-06-26T11:19:25.011-04:002011-06-26T11:19:25.011-04:00Jeff, glad you had a great race experience.Jeff, glad you had a great race experience.TNTcoach Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02022683408145528060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592755595247951740.post-87605116977924340492011-06-26T10:57:54.748-04:002011-06-26T10:57:54.748-04:00I feel stupid asking this, but what is a negative ...I feel stupid asking this, but what is a negative split? <br /><br />I ALWAYS forget to turn my Garmin off at the end of a race.
