Shooting for the half...after running a marathon this Saturday in snow and 27 degree windchills, a half in the cold will be a cakewalk...

I'll be there for the half. Hoping to have some costume on, if I can decide on something...  Costumed or not, this is just going to be a totally laid back run for me - no racing - just out there to have fun.  John & Team Ortho always put on a good race, and I'm just gonna go enjoy all the Halloween goofiness and camaraderie

See y'all out there!

Cheers, Chris

ok, I'm crabby. I'm all trained and ready to go and then yesterday I start feeling like crap. Cough, sweats, chills, etc.

I hate to throw away the entry fee but I'm not sure running is the best idea either. I guess I'll just see how I feel Saturday morning...

Bummer!  Hope you feel better very quickly.  At least you'll get your cool swag at packet pickup.

That's no good! Rest up today and hopefully you'll feel better tomorrow!! But don't kill yourself running the race if you're not feeling great. Good luck!!

I'm...not in...

Both the half and 10-miler filled up several weeks ago.  Funny thing is, I called my friend about a month ago and reminded him to register before the fees went up, and I never registered myself.  Maybe I'll go run 13.1 on my own this weekend...

Good luck and have fun everyone!

Sal, I gotta do a 12 miler this weekend.  If you had any possibility of only doing 10 minute miles I'd love the company.

I'm trying to coordinate meeting up with a friend for the start and I am starting to realize how giant this operation is  - and what a mess the neighborhood will be. 

The "athlete village" area is by the bandshell and the 1/2 start is near there, but the 10 miler start is a half mile away and that's not even counting the parking.  10 milers could end up walking over a mile, conservatively, if they park and want to check a bag for later and then walk back to the start.  Yikes.

Ha ha, you're just jealous   I guess next time I better start my warmup for my long runs with a 1.25 mile walk.  Silly me for not thinking about that.

Steve - I just saw the winning time last year was 1:04:07.  Are you planning to win??? How do you think the course compares to the TCM 10-miler?

I think the Monster course is EASIER (more small rollers but less long 2 mile hills), so I'm hoping for a better time.

BUT, last year there were 250 people running. This year, there's 1000!!! So I'm hoping to do well, but I bet there will be some real "speedies" out there! I'm shooting for top 5. Regardless, it should be a fun run!!

Good luck, ya'll!  Jeremy and I will be there with Julie, a friend of mine from work.  All three of us are doing our first stand-alone half.  Jeremy did a HIM this summer, but Julie and I have never run that far before.  Eeek!  And, I have a toenail that I think will abandon ship before the end of the race.  If you see me on the side of the road shaking out my sock, it's because the toenail doesn't want to be a team player anymore.

Congrats on your 3rd place finish, Steve!

What did you think of your first half, Pattie?

I thought it was a lovely day for a run.  Could have done with a few less hills   The crowded start was rough (just trust us Steve, that's how it is back there) and I didn't leave this race thinking I had to do it next year.  Very different from the Minneapolis Duathlon.  But I met my goals and finished happily today, which is good enough for me.

Holy carp that was hard!  I missed my time goal by about 10 minutes.  I came in at 2:30.  No excuses though.  That was all I had in me today.
