Tomorrow I'll be running the GO! St. Louis Marathon in St. Louis, MO for my 28th state (30th lifetime) marathon. We had time to tour the city a little tonight after the expo-- which is huge by the way! We saw the Gateway Arch and had dinner in downtown area. MB is here with me too, of course. I know-- usually I would be doing a full race RUNdown right now, but I've been a little crazy at work lately and haven't been blogging too much-- sorry!!! I'll get back on it, starting riiiiighhttt... now! I just posted my NJ- Race ratings! 2 posts in 1 night! How do you like that?
Not going to have time to do a full RUNdown before bed, but I'll leave you with a little teaser for tomorrows race...
- There are 10 races associated with this marathon weekend and the marathon isn't even the largest.
- The half-marathon has sold out with 12,500 participants, and the full marathon sold out long ago with just under 3,000 participants signed up. WHY so many more half-marathoners?? Does this mean there is less or more focus on the fewer marathoners??? Only time will tell...
-The course is a loop around downtown St. Louis, including sites like the Gateway Arch, Busch Stadium as well as the very pretty campus of St. Louis University.
That's it for now-- Off to bed, then up early for Marathon State #28!
Run strong tomorrow! Yeah for number 28!

St. Louis is beautiful. I've lived in both STL and CIN. Both baseball and river towns. If you get a chance, get some toasted ravolis.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great race today.
Oh, and I guess you know about Laura who is going to set a new record this year. I think she'll have done 50 states at the age of 27 (I think).
ReplyDeleteI hope St. Louis went well! Nice double!
ReplyDeleteMy mistake... not a double. I saw the recently posted race recap and jumped to conclusions!
ReplyDeleteNice job on a hot day.
