Any idea which is the shortest and flattest?

Rumour has it they all tend to be the same length unfortunately. Something like 26.2 miles. I may be wrong though!

Mike - For the slower runners, Rabs is incorrect. The smaller marathons are shorter. "WE" do not have to line up as far back as in the larger marathons. Plus, it is easier (less crowded) to try to run the tangent, which is the way that the marathons are measured. For example, at Disney, I probably covered about 27 miles or so. I went somewhere between one quarter and one half mile to line up. AND, I was nearly at the rear. It took about eight minutes for me to reach the start line. Therefore, I gave the elites at least an eight minute head start. Then, I spent the rest of the race trying to make up lost ground. It's discouraging. Well, that's my 'umble opinion...

HIPS - I KNOW THAT ISOLATED PARTS OF THE UNITED STATES HAVE COMPUTERS. POST AWAY AS I MISS YOU. Hope you are having a fun time!!

JJ - Bill Rodgers, a marathoner, use to say that about the middle of the pack runners. He admired them as there was no way that he could run for four or more hours. Tongue in cheek? Maybe....

Jim, it hadn't occurred to me, I was just trying to be funny, but I guess you're right, the bigger the event, the further you have to run.



Hmm, well, Abingdon certainly is a lot closer to home than Loch Ness...


not that I'm ever running another one, you understand!

I think I need to sign up for a few more races.

Mike - No, only we slower guys have further to run. Of course, when I run, I tire and stagger. Therefore, I am ALL over the road. Have a good year! Run well.

Mike - Although my statements, for me, are accurate, I was just trying to be funny also.

Good morning all.
I've decided not to run until thursday when the children go back to school. This morning we are going for a walk with my sister and her daughters.
