The NJ marathon, Flying PIg (was the non-local one i looked at), and Broad Street run!! Im sure you've heard of the Broad Street 10 miler. Lots of fun in Philly, but its no marathon. I think im leaning towards the broad of NJ. I hear awesome things about the NJ!

I print that page out and put in my scrapbook with my bib #. It feels good when it's a good time!! I did the Ocean Drive 10 miler last year. They weren't kidding about the wind. It was pretty freezing and definitely windy. For a marathon, I think its a smaller crowd. We started with the marathoners and ended at 10miles. I'll probably try for the 10miler again on that one. The other one sounds cool esp having to qualify! The NJ marathon in May is supposed to be a good one too!N.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07718741327199643323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32536118.post-87554556966308915632008-12-04T04:20:00.000-08:002008-12-04T04:20:00.000-08:00Does this mean you're not doing the NJ Marathon in...Does this mean you're not doing the NJ Marathon in May?
