Cellcom Green Bay Marathon

Should have good weather for it, a little on the warm side.  Fast, flat course and who can beat running through lambeau!

 

I think if you connect all three it shoots laser beams or something.

What constitutes a marathon in Wisconsin........ 26.2 meters?

 

"runners" can only take brats, curds and beer along

and there will be defibrillator stations along the way 

 

 

That's pretty cool!!!

I'm in!

 

The tip-off should have been she couldn't even spell "M.I.T."

 

Jeenyous.

I'm in it for the bling.

 

A little over a year ago I had not run more than a 5K and was about 250. This is my second marathon and have been south of 2 bills since about august of last year. I am just in it to compete with myself. I am very excited.

 

Plus I believe there is a clearance sale going on at the Packer Pro Shop. I am a bargain hunter so this should be a banner weekend at the old Cheeze house!

Old?

I won't make the Green Bay run but I will be running the Woodville Wisconsin Uff Da Half Marathon on Saturday.  I think instead of medals you get lefse.

How old? I am in my mid 40s.

Running the half marathon tomorrow.  Done the Cellcom many times.  Great event and running through the players tunnel and around the bowl is really cool.  Usually quite a few "fans" in the stands cheering you on.

Going to be a little muggy but nothing like 3 years ago when people were dropping like crazy. Good luck Cheeze

And lutefisk. 

How far back is the day?  I've lived in Baldwin for 22 years.

 

I did the half that year, which was the second time I did Cellcom.  Man, that was brutal.  Haven't been back but mostly out of convenience.  It is a great course.  Did a spring half marathon here in Michigan this year instead.

 

Hope everyone had a good race.

It was pretty cool doing all of this and then finishing in Lambeau. 

 

The weather had an impact on me but despite that I still did well and finished. It might not have been quite as well as I had wanted but completing is the ultimate goal and I am more than okay with that.

 

I am going to start working on some triathlons. Next marathons on the agenda is Milwaukee lakefront Marathon in October and then the St Jude's Marathon in Memphis in December. Next year planning on getting the 2nd medal at Green Bay!

 

thanks for the well wishes!

The medals are pretty cool.  Good times overall.  Despite the heat and wind I finished near my goal and didn't tweak anything so it's all good.

Congrats Tscmack! I hear you. No permanent damage and I am feeling pretty good today which is a bonus!

I really prepped and hydrated which helped.  I felt pretty good after and a little sore today but nothing major.  Good to see 8,000 of my closest friends and I finished well.   Hope you did well also

I ran 26.2 miles and crossed the finish line. All good in my book.
