Winter Get-away??

Anyone interested in planning a winter break? Chris J and I and maybe Marty Durnell are running the Phoenix Marathon January 13th, 2008. We will likely fly out on Friday and take a red-eye back late on the 13th.

PS-I've really enjoyed reading your blog! You guys have a very interesting forum here. Good luck this weekend. I look forward to reading about how it goes.

Hmmm. There was talk about going to Vegas some time in January/February. I see there is a Half Marathon. I'll keep it on the list of possibilities.

Let me understand this. You believe a Winter Getaway?? is training for at least 12 weeks (very conservative) to travel 2000 miles to tear your legs off for 3 plus hours.

Not quite there yet Jim, give me a couple years it may sound appealing. Distances feel shorter all the time. I wouldn't tell you I would everthink about doint a 1/2 Ironman a year ago, Now, it doesn't sound so bad.

Checkmate! I have no real good responses to that except it will be about 60 degrees warmer there and there is always a free major headliner concert following the marathon. However, the legs will be trashed without a doubt.

I've done 1- 1/2 ironman (Lake Tupper) and could see the lights of the sag wagon right behind me for much of the event. I didn't think I'd do another, but now I'd like to do one more and then a full ironman. Who knows when though??
