Wedn. 7/25: Hike 2 hrs. (in beautiful Wisconsin!)
Thurs. 7/26: Run 8.1 miles (1hr. 6min)

Sun. 7/29: Run 12 miles (1hr. 52min)

So last Thursday I checked the Stowe Marathon website to see if there were any updates, and it read, "MARATHON CANCELLED". As Borat would say, "Whhaaaat?". So I'm pretty bummed at that, but I can't blame them too much. They didn't give an exact reason why it is cancelled, but I imagine it is from low numbers (not their fault), poor organization (their fault), low on money (not really their fault), and some other factors.

Anyway, I'm researching a new race to run, and I will have that decided soon. Most likely in New Hampshire at the end of September. Right after I post this, I'm taking down the link to the Stowe Marathon on my 'favorite links' list on the right side of this blog. If those douchebags can't give me a marathon, they're not going to be listed here either. That oughta show them! Booyakashah!
