Route 66 Marathon

Anyone running in the route 66 Marathon on the 22nd? I'm only running the half.

Not me?

A fellow runner!! Great!

Ran the Tulsa Run 15k last year....decided to pass this year due to the wedding plans.

Going to run the Route 66 Marathon next year. Jerry and I just started to run again. Havent ran in a few months....out of shape.

But will get there.

Good luck Bobby!!

I wanted to try this and got off schedule. I couldn't even make the half right now. It is our goal next year to be ready for it and do it.

Thanks man, way over trained for the half but planning to run my first marathon in OKC in April.

I finished the South lake Tahoe marathon but I didn't run it all. I had a stranger give me a P&J sandwich which saved me.

Going to have to learn to eat and run...heard thats the hardest part. Also your feet swell...so going to have to lube the toes.

Marathons are def no joke

Thats funny. I'm actually reading up now about what and when to eat during a marathon. It looks like people eat everything from pretzels to that GU crap or what ever it is called.

Yeah I would have NEVER packed that for myself. I made it to mile marker 21, coming down hill and felt like my legs were locking up. The first time in my life I actually felt the food I ate instantly resupply my energy level.

When we finished the race I thanked the lady and come to find out she was a swimsuit model. We actually got lost and was stranded over night in the mountains where we stripped naked to stay warm.

Ok, she was an old lady on a 15 minute mile pace but I don't like that version.

naa. I ran to the fridge once to get a beer and needed a nap afterwards. I'll pass.

I remember this story from Alaska when I was up there. This guy collapsed just before the finish line and couldn't move. I remember the footage from the news. He had a blood blister so big he could not wear shoes.

Be careful and good luck.

Good lord.....it takes a lot to get to that point. He left it all out there. WOW

His first stop on the way home was to stop and walk across the finish line. He definitely left it all out there.

If I do one, I am not going to try and win. Finishing it will be a big enough accomplishment for me.
