Although I thought last year's wasn't bad, really. And that's too bad you didn't like the course--I loved it. Absolutely loved it. Gently rolling hills, no major highways, fast. I guess it's not for everyone. At any rate, congrats on a great race!Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02603790455041808953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592755595247951740.post-19943433240240959052012-04-18T13:06:43.308-04:002012-04-18T13:06:43.308-04:00Agreed.

The 10k was tolerable, but I can't imagine doing the half or full up and down Hines. I've done too many marathon training runs out there, and it's so god awful boring.Megan https://www.blogger.com/profile/02433882145530028479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592755595247951740.post-90243521366474856242012-04-15T14:34:15.825-04:002012-04-15T14:34:15.825-04:00Got a picture of you on my post of the race:

Frankly, I never would have done that so it's much appreciated. Plus you probably added another 10 minutes to your time.

I left in plenty of time, but I minsterpreted the directions and went two miles the wrong way on Michigan ave, and then after resorting to my rarely used android GPS, turned around but hit stop and go traffic coming back causing me to be 25 minutes late. <br /><br />You can mess with a lot of things in a man's life, but when you mess with their last long run beofre a big event, you've gone too far. Fortunately it seems Jeff got in most of his run as needed, but let this be my public apology.

I pretty much agree about the shirt - but don't care that much.<br /><br />I've found that I love out and backs when I know a lot of runners in the race. It keeps me going since most of my friends are faster than me. I like to cheer for them and today, it kept me out of my own head through mile 9. <br /><br />Great job with your 20 miler and enjoy Glass City next week!Rose (Hacker Half Marathon)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01554370616892305395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592755595247951740.post-42201828999066814512012-04-14T15:39:51.815-04:002012-04-14T15:39:51.815-04:00Michael - if you are going to do a half/full in Mi...Michael - if you are going to do a half/full in Michigan, I would suggest Detroit marathon.
