goals for marathon #5

not sure if i told anyone yet... but im running another marathon. THIS.SUNDAY.

yuuuup. im pretty pumped about it too.

if you get runners world, you may have seen this:

most scenic marathon, and runner up for best overall marathon!(someday ill get out to missoula to compare... maybe)

they might try to scare us by showing us the comparison chart for another kinda popular marathon... sorry boston, we might be a bit more hardcore

this year marks the 10th year that MDI has done their marathon,
so naturally they needed to add a little flare!

blue: experienced marathoners (thats me!)

green: first time marathoners

yellow: early starters

purple: charitable fundraisers

orange: team relay divisions

these shirts have been on sale online for a while now, but im hoping i can still find one when i get up there... hard ro read, but it says "mount desert island, the way running should be"

official race course map

and now...

scenes from the race
