My running partners and I decided to register for the Sept. 13th Rochester Marathon as a training run for our main marathon next month in Albany. Our training plan calls for a 23-miler that weekend, so we figured, what's another 3.2 miles! We'll just have to watch the pace so we don't forget that our "A" race isn't until next month.

That's a great idea. It will add another notch to the belt. I wi**** was a week earlier so I could come and cheer. I will be near Rochester this weekend for the New York State Festival of Balloons in Dansville.

Cassie, that sounds like a great idea! What a coup, to get two marathons within a month of each other!

I'll be anxious to hear how you feel after this!
I'm doing the Detroit marathon October 18th followed by the NYC 2 weeks later. My plan though is to flip the races and aim for a PB in Detroit and take things easy and bring a camera for the NYC

very impressive! i'm struggling with the run currently as i'm continuing tri training, it's just so damn painful sometimes to run.... maybe you can lend some pointers?

Where are we going?? And why am I in this handbasket??

I totally understand the thought process, and I'm glad you could find one at the right time. It's doubtful that I'll even do ONE this year. This is supposed to be hell year in pharmacy school, so training gets pushed back a little.

Have a great couple of races!
