Trying to figure out what races) to run this fall.  The one I wanted to do - Chickamauga Half - sold out last month both the half and full.  ugh.  There is one on Thanksgiving in downtown ATL that I guess I will do.  It is only $40 if I sign up this month and I won't spend any $$ for travel.  Some of the halfs around here are $60.  I guess I'm just cheap but that is getting crazy.  Maybe I'll just focus on the ATC races that I get for free with my $20 annual membership fee.  It is just hard to get really stoked about those for some reason.  Usually those are my tune up races for the pay ones. 

before lunch - 5.3 @ 7:15 ave pace.  I've had a big blister on my big toe for a week now.  Are we supposed to pop them or not?  It comes and goes with each run.

Got in another before getting the kids this evening

4.4 @ 7:01 ave pace

Dang, Chickamauga is where you took name last year. I remember reading it in Marathonguide. They should invite you back for free!

GOOD LUCK planning your Fall races. Wish you could come out west to race.

Sorry about the blister! I'm the worst with blisters, so don't ask me! :)

Nice job on the miles.

$80 for a race you REALLY want to run is worth it ... while $1 for one you can't get excited about might by too much!!! (In my opinion.)

yeah Smooth - that's what my wife thought :)

Teena - I agree on the race price comment. I've just had a lot of problems figuring out one I really want to run. I just need to figure out what kind of runner I want to be when I grow up...
