13.1 Marathon- Minneapolis

by Beth on August 17, 2010

 

 

There’s a new race in town and I’ve decided to give it a try. It’s 13.1 Marathon- Minneapolis and it coming up quick! The race is this Sunday, August 22 and there is still time to register online before the deadline on Wednesday. 13.1 Marathon is a series of half marathon races in various cities, reminding me of the Rock ‘n Roll series. I checked out the course and it’s similar to the Minneapolis Half, but this race starts at St. Anthony Main and ends at Lake Nokomis. There is 80’s music along the course and it looks like there will be plenty of water stops.

 My training schedule for NY Marathon says 14 miles, so I’ll warm up for a mile and then run the race. I’m really excited about it! Leave me a comment if you are going so I can look for you.

That is already this weekend! Wow, if I was not with my son in Colorado I would come out to support the runners… Good luck!

Hi Beth,
My neighbor is running this one too! My hubby is out of town on a golfing trip and I am not sure what Kay has going on but I think it would be a good one to run.

If I would run it…training only:) I just ran a hellish half this past weekend! I will have to think about it…maybe I will see you. Take care Beth!

Make sure you run it as a training run and not get all crazy and go all out.

Good luck!
