Nice even pace! And I love the info on the snacks you ate during the run. I think I’ll take Gummi Bears with me on my next long run, too. Oh, and did I ever say thank you for your advice on whether to run the Las Vegas marathon? If not, then thank you! I still haven’t heard back from race organizers if they’re going to credit me for not running last year’s half-marathon.

Detroit puts on an awesome marathon! I have run it 3 times and never get tired of running over the bridge and back through the tunnel with the bike path in Canada as an added attraction! If your a beer guy, there is beer at about 22 miles in Indian Village, very very good at that point in the run! Run Good!

Great run and great paces!! I’m so jealous of your 45 degrees at 8 am, wow!! Sometimes I hate the Forerunner, esp when it tells me I did a 6.5 minute mile and then a 13 minute mile. Helloo?? How about just averaging it out???

I saw on the RBF calendar that you’re running the Detroit Marathon. I read your blog so I knew that you were training for a marathon, but it never dawned on me that you’re running Detroit. It looks like a good race. I seriously thought about doing the half-marathon, but decided to do one here in NJ. It’s so cool that you run across the Ambassador bridge, come back through the tunnel and end on Ford Field. I look forward to reading your recap. Good luck with the taper!

Whoa, you are one popular blogger. Look at all your comments. It’s amazing the power of a chocolate chip! I wish I had an organized long run to go to, what a cool thing. Maybe I should organize one!
