Obviously, I have to go with my Texas folks...
White Rock, Dec. 14, Dallas TX.
Genie - I'm in Ft. Worth. I haven't heard from Brian in awhile. I need to check in with him and see if he's up for this one. Last I heard, he was going to take a break from Marathons.
edited because I needed to clarify....

Cool!! I was going to email him once I knew if we were definitely on. There's always the relay though, would you be up for a half by then? Maybe the two of you could do a 2-man.......or we can make up I think it's 4-man teams with shorter legs.......he told me that too since he had some bad stress fractures right before I got mine, but it would be great to meet him!! Let me know what he says!

My goal for this one is the full 26.2 miles. I've been doing halves (notice I didn't say racing). AlaninTX convinced me this would be a great first marathon. I'll begin my training 8/10, and am very excited!!
I'll let you know when I hear from our friend!

Just another shameless plug... (from Marathoning and Beyonds Top 25 list)
13. Dallas White Rock Marathon"Very well organized," begin Gordon Hartshorn's accolades about this marathon. "A lot of spirit and solid assistance from the volunteer crew. Oriented toward the satisfaction of ordinary runners rather than just the elite. Markers and splits are at every mile. The course runs from downtown Dallas out to a 10-mile open loop around White Rock Lake and then finishes back at the start." John Wallace, who lives in Dallas, ranks this marathon 7th on his list. "Half the course is run on my training course -- around White Rock Lake -- so I could run it with my eyes closed. But the course is fairly flat and fast. The weather is normally cool to cold, and the crowds are my friends and family. Logistics are easy: you can walk or park next to the start/finish line. The postrace activities are great!" "This marathon has great tradition," reports Bill Macy. "It's never too big, but there are enough runners to make it very competitive. I have always wondered if those volunteers at about mile 22 ever got a runner to take one of the beers they offer. The Rock always has great T-shirts, and you see them at races all over the U.S. The race is an easy place to get to and from and has a great expo."
