run far, run fast

In lieu of an actual update...

Looking at next year's races is totally retail therapy for a runner, because I could do that, or those back-to-back, or hell yeah that. And it helps me look past the cold, dark New England winter.

May I recommend the CHaD half marathon, in Hanover NH? Race is in October, hilly as fuck (truly horrible, homicidal hills in Hanover) and you have to raise money in order to run.

What more could you ask of a race?

Also, Groton. Two weeks after Boston.

Yeah, CHaD is the same day as the Baystate Marathon, to which I have a certain amount of attachment. And you're not really selling me on it with the hills. (Have you tried Mount Greylock? That's a barrel of fun.) Also, my last fundraising event was the Boston->New York Aids Ride in 1996 - really not fond of that stuff.

OTOH, I don't see a conflict with Groton.

You won't be disappointed. It's a well organized race, and the course is lovely. Coordinate with me as things get close; I get privileged parking near the start/finish line so I can keep your stuff safe while you run.
