Could be a title for a new movie: "Black Ladies Walking"?

Helen Prejean could mediate.

Yeah I didn't see them this year either. .........the walkers, and slow runners that start ahead of their groups are a pain in the arse. But I will say that I think they helped me this year. I was so annoyed with them that I was forced to start way faster than I wanted to. Luckily I was able to keep my pace the whole way. I was hoping to get sub 55:00, and today I finished 52:02.

Without the need to get out in front of these people I would have likely stayed at my comfortable/hard pace instead of really pushing myself.

Ran it last year and I remember hearing it was around 17000 people

This year I was told 25000 that probably added to the walkers I ran the side walk a bunch

And 1:04 wanted under an hour but oh well

I've done it the past 4 years and the walkers seemed worse this year than any other year combined. I wish they'd try to keep the walkers on left and runners on right or something. So frustrating

I finished! Just getting home. Nothing better than jumping back on the wagon after running 6 miles. I love the classic but hate the fat, old, wide walkers. I brought back the classic red rover game with them.

I'm fat , and in trying to set up a pace. Get the frick out of my way.

I'll post a pic Monday. Good night.

1:07:58 and walked back to my hotel because the line for the buses was at least a mile long and I had a 1:30 check out. I got in over 11 miles yesterday.

Dodging the walkers, I probably could add another mile or two.

forgot about this thread yesterday. How'd all of the first timers do? what'd you think about the course,crowd,after party?

is it still in tad gormley? or did they move it?
