Mack,that's a real bummer not getting into St. George.

I plan on doing the Runner Series every year until I'm in the ten year club. I know if I enter the lottery that I will never get picked.

Although, last year I didn't finish the runner series and I also didn't make the lottery, but somehow, around August, they cashed my check. I called them and they said I made it in. I had them send me an email saying that I got in. Very strange.

Wow, that's weird with the check thing.

I guess i ought to consider the runner series.

I really like doing the runner series. But I hate having to pay for a hotel room to do the races. We had been staying with relatives but they are moving away. My new favorite race in the series is the snow canyon half. I also like the spectrum 10k, but I have a hard time paying a lot in expenses to run a 10k.

Too bad about St. George, would have been a chance to meet you.

Sorry SGM rejected you. I may be running there are some other nice fall marathons you could run.

Dale, I just got done checking out the Snow Canyon Half web site. Looks like a pretty nice run. I'm tempted to come give it a try if I can convince my wife that the travel costs are worth it.

Flat and Rhett, Thanks for the condolences. I'm actually 4 out of 5 when it comes to getting into races with a lottery. So I can't complain! I'll find a good alternative. Maybe Top of Utah.

Mack, snow canyon half was awesome!!! Beautiful scenery, too. I could have PR'd if I would have trained and had more time to train. seems like I was dealing with an injury sometime last year before the St George marathon, but I can't remember what it was. I'm definitely going to sign up again....I think. I need to check my race schedule. I might be doing an ultra that month.

Oh yeah, Top of Utah is an awesome marathon. too!
