2010 ING Half/Full Marathon (Atlanta)
Any EN'ers doing the ING Half/Full Marathon this weekend in Atlanta? I should have shot this out earlier, but let me know. Perhaps a quick meetup before the start or afterwards. Good luck.

If anyone is looking for a fun race in the South, the ING Half/Marathon is a well run event. Weather this year was a little cool and moist. Course is very challenging with a lot of hills and turns. However, it winds through some historic neighborhoods, with great spectators out in force. My favorite was three ladies, all dressed in chorus robes, singing Gospel in the Martin Luther King Historic District. I hit my Half Mary PR of 1:45:25. Haven't run 13.1 miles since last September. Longest run this OS was 9 miles. In any event, aside from joints starting to wear down from the miles, the muscles and heart rate were fantastic. Followed the EN 3/7/3 as best I could and passed hundreds of folks in last four miles. This OS speed work really works!
