Thanks, Phate, I never hung out in this area much, but it looks like I've been missing a lot. I'm going to check out yours too.

No running today, Squats, Bench, Rows. I'm chomping at the bit to run some more, but I want to take it easy at first. Tomorrow I'm going to do 3 miles; I don't care how cold it is.....Damn, we got about 2 inches of snow last night

Ha, I don't wanna hear it. Get your ass in gear!

Oh, I see how it is. Well, I'm calling you out! I wanna see your ass in Over-The-Rhine on the 29th

Hahaha, done, I just registered!

Sweet, we'll have to meet up there.

Here's a stupid newbie runner question...Do you pick up your t-shirt and packet there even if you pre-register or do they send it to you?

Yeah dude, for sure. Are you going down alone or with others?

Haha, unfortunately, I am also newb to running events, so I have no clue. It would make sense if they sent it to pre-registrants ahead of time, but I'm not sure. If I don't get anything, I'll just bring the receipt down and all should be well.

Good luck goochy man

Iv always been a brilliant runner until the last couple of years where i really let my health slip (smoking, drinking, lack of exercise...)

Im wanting to really improve my long distance/sprint running in the near future. Will be interesting to see how you get on.

My wife will be on a business trip so it's likely I'll be all by my lonesome. At least I got my mom to babysit my kids.

What part of town are you in?

I didn't print the receipt because I'm out of ink. I hope they can just look up my name. Maybe I'll call.

It would be nice if we got one of those 50 degree winter days huh?


...Thanks Tom, we'll see how it goes.

Cool cool, yeah I'll likely be showing up alone, after work. I live in Oakley, which is right off of the Smith and Edwards exit, so it only takes me 10 minutes to get downtown.

Oh yeah, I'm definitely keeping my fingers crossed for a decent day. It's gonna be a 6:30 race start, so it's only gonna start getting colder.

I'm in West Chester. We should plan to meet somewhere at the race

The 10 day forecast as of now states it will be a high of 37, low of 30. That's not bad at all. Only a 10% chance of precip.

You usually have to pick up the race packets there ahead of time. Sometimes prior to the day of the race, sometimes the same day before the race. That has how it has worked for every race I have been in. The usually provide you with that information when you register.

this is the best thing going!

Those are cool looking shoes man! Stubby~! you have lil feet? 2 miles on your first real outing very nice.

for the cold, tie a scarf around your face. they are wide, so you can try it single layer, double, and triple, it will help slow your breathing some.

the secind day- tomorrow you will be a lil more sore. it sounds like the connectors (my technicall term for the cord feeling thingys that connect the muscle fat parts to the bones) in your legs got sore- that is perfect. You have good joints and strong muscles. those connectors get quite sore- tendons I guess they are. whatever.

and you got Mark wrangles up too.

this is just great. Glad I came back and saw this tonoight!!!!

The packet pick up info should be on the registration website so go look again. Most races do have a prior pickup time. Here (CA) its usually a day before but also usually have the option of picking up on race day early. They have your name, no paperwork required.

Thanks for the info about pickup. I'll go back over the flyer
FF, I wear size 11.5, they must just look small in the pic

Last night I came down with whatever stomach bug my daughter had and I spent half the night vomiting and shivering. Maybe tmi, but I heaved so hard I broke blood vessels in my eyes. She was only sick for about 48 hours so hopefully I can get back out this weekend. I hope to God I can eat today. Yesterday I came way short of my intake

Ugh, bummer man. I hope you bounce back quickly! I'm about to head over to the indoor track at school to run a few miles. I really should run outside to simulate the race coming up, but the warmth is so tempting!
