Harrisburg marathon is this weekend. Sunday morning to be precise. You can read about it or sign up at [www.harrc.org](http://www.harrc.org).

I think I’m going to run this one. My goal is to break 4 hours and I hit this huge headwind on my last marathon that slowed me down.

Anybody want to come and run?

I didn’t know anyone else on this board was sane enough to run marathons. Too bad I’m out of town or I’d run it with you, good luck. I think I’ll wait till the Vegas Marathon in February. [http://www.lvmarathon.com/](http://www.lvmarathon.com/)

The Vegas marathon! That one sounds like fun!

Let me go ask my pregnant wife if it’s ok if I fly off to Vegas for the weekend and leave her at home with the kid.

Scylla, if you left your pregnant wife alone with the kid so you could run in a marathon, **I’d** kill you.

The lovely and talented Airman Doors will not be able to participate in the smack-talk; he’s too busy eating bugs in the Cascade Mountains to join you.
