Tobacco and Tar

The blog has been a bit slow lately. Life has been busy, and I have run short on time to post. I will try to get some more regular updates, but strongly encourage you guys to submit anything (race reports, tips, interesting news, results, etc.) for me to post. It helps keep the blog interesting. There are two races coming up the the RMEC is involved with that I wanted to remind everyone about:

Tobacco Road Marathon and Half Marathon: 850 runners have registered for the marathon, and 2,370 have registered for the half. These are great numbers for an inaugural race. Tim, Michael, Gerry, Dave, Tracy, Frank, Brian, and Ashley are all registered for the full, and Laura is racing the half. The race is full, but I still wanted to let the club know about who was racing. The website says they will be posting results during the race on Sunday, so you may be able to follow us online.

Tar Heel 10 Miler and 4 Miler: This April 10, Chapel Hill race has a cap of 2,000 runners, and only has 80 spots remaining. All 10 M finishers get a medal which is a nice perk. Currently Kelly, Arthur, Michael D, Ron, Laura, Michael, Ursula, Leigh Ann, Scott, Jon, and Amber are racing the 10M. Robin and Charlotte will also be racing in the 4M. I still think this could be a great road trip for our club if anyone is interested. It can be a great training race for those building up miles, and just something fun and different to try. You actually finish by running around the football field. I expect the last 80 spots will be gone before Friday.
