I wish I had local leaders getting out and being good examples of healthy living!

Absolutly! He ran several marathons sub3, we will do also! You sooner and me later!😁

We will both get there soon. Do you have your next marathon or marathons already scheduled?

From Martin on Fri, Feb 22, 2019 at 15:59:19 from 217.238.69.151

Yes: I will try to lower my times at 10k and halfmarathon in this spring. In June I want to start training for Munich Marathon which is October 13th.

Fun, my next marathon is in May in the city of Ogden, Utah.

From Martin on Fri, Feb 22, 2019 at 16:20:20 from 217.238.69.151

I know, it will be your great day, your training is amazing! Are ypu running any races before?

From Donald Davis on Sun, Feb 24, 2019 at 08:12:00 from 96.18.197.98

I haven't signed up for anything yet. Weather here in Idaho does not allow many races before May, and I am also a little cheap when it comes to paying for races!

From Martin on Sun, Feb 24, 2019 at 08:51:57 from 217.238.68.224

We expect 68 degrees the next days which makes it easier to train. Do you stil have a lot of snow?

How much does a race cost in US? Our big marathons cost between 60 and 100 Euros (Dollar is nearly the same). But the 10k race I ran this morning cost 7 Euros which is quite expensive here.

It has been a snowy winter here in Southeast Idaho, although it is not very uncommon either. Last winter was super warm and dry, and I got to run outside in short sleeves in January (which is HIGHLY unusual).

"Big" marathons in the US (like Boston, New York, Chicago) can be in the 200-300USD range. Very good local marathons with several thousand participants run in the same range as your races (60-100USD). Half marathons are usually 10-15USD less than the marathon on the same day.

By 7 euros, did you mean 70 euros?

From Martin on Sun, Feb 24, 2019 at 10:36:10 from 217.238.68.224

No, 7 Euros! Those are small races, the main event (10 k) had 166 participants.
