Anybody else running this Sunday in Minneapolis/St. Paul? This is my first (at age (almost) 42). I
would very much appreciate the good thoughts and prayers of all of you. I have learned much here in
the past couple of years, but I didn't learn enough to stay the heck out of a marathon!

Brian,

I just completed my first marathon at age 30 back on Sept 20th. at the Air Force Marathon. I didn't
push myself and just relaxed and enjoyed it. Best of luck in your endeavor to conquer 26.2! Let us
know how you do.

good luck, brian. if and when you hit the wall, think of the pizza (replace with favorite food) that
awaits consumption after the race.

Jobs:

Thanks. I am hoping the book and method work as well for me as they did for you. Pizza. Yes, a very
good idea.

I will let you know.

Hey Brian: I'll be there for my 8th time. First time I ran TC we were turning left off of East River
Road and heading up this killer hill to Summit Avenue. I asked where we were and one of the runners
around me said to look for the dome of the Cathedral. Its at the very end of the course (.2 of a
mile left.) So, look for the dome and the run is nearly done. Its a great event. Have fun time.
Don't go out too fast. Drink your water. Take along some tootsie rolls for fuel. Get to the
MetroDome at about 7:20 and soak in all of the sights - its great! Scott in Austin MN "Brian Jones"
