Hi everyone,
Is anyone doing the WRM?
If so, are you interested in doing long runs along the course route - like the
Sedona crew has been doing?
Let me know your thoughts...I am still not up to running a marathon yet but I
hope to be back in time for the WRM in May and thought the Sedona gang had a
great idea doing training runs along the course...

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own
understanding. Acknowledge him in all your ways, and he will make your paths
straight."
