run

I think next year I will give it a try. I know a few from this board do or once did this run. I will start at the back of the pack.

Heck we could have are own team.

I did it last year, but it's not in the cards this year. Hoping next year again. It's very scenic. It's also pretty hard for a half marathon with the hills. You start off going up from Gunflint Lake. But overall there is a net loss of altitude.

HO HO-I thought you did.
I probably would just start small and do the 5K. I thought it would be nice time to maybe socialize with a few people. Than spend the weekend doing a few canoe day trips.
My max in my life was about 10 miles running aprox. 20 years ago. That is a few miles under the bridge of life since than. But retired now,I have plenty of time to get in shape(Always dreamed of doing a 1/2 marathon or so),I just got to do it and quit eating those M&M almonds(I love them).

There's plenty of time before next year to get ready for the full half marathon. Either way, have fun!

I'd like to do this, but will have to wait until next year. Have to many races on the docket this year.

I have had it on my radar. Next year as a group run sounds good.

Last year I ran the Grand Traverse in Duluth, not advetised heavily but very tough, very tough race. Beautiful scenery and great after party. This year the Birkie half marathon.

I saw this on the info. link: The Little Runts Run- I like the idea of starting with this race.

The only running I've done has been for sports. Two of my co-workers are getting into marathons. They are trying to convince me to start running. I will admit his would be more fun than running in a big city!

I have never run more than a 10K but for the last two years have ALWAYS said if I EVER run farther, this is the half marathon I would do. I ran up on the trail over Easter weekend and it is hilly but there's no scenery more inspiring to me. It gives me more energy to run there. I would be game NEXT year. I would love to know if anyone else decides to train for it.
