team Two Foot Express

“Its official...

Me and another fell are all signed up to do the Detroit Free Press marathon next month as a two man team(1/2 each)...I said I would never run one again but here we are. 19 days till team Two Foot Express plods,stumbles,vomits and cries its way into running history.”

“Birch, they become addictive! I did 5 half marathons before I had enough. I still run but prefer the trail runs.
Just keep your mind focused during the event, I always liked counting down the K markers (this was especially fun during 50K XC ski marathons).
Enjoy it!”

“I hope you do real good Birch!

8)”

“birch - you rock. that is amazing.”

“Hey, that's cool. Have fun with it. Thanks goodness you're only doing 1/2 of it. My knees ache just thinking about 26POINT2.

I hope your doing the second half. You'll look like a god passing all those people (doing the full 26)that hit the wall at 18.”

“Have fun!”

“That's AWESOME birch! Best of luck to you and your teammate! Running rules! Just think of the endorphine rush you're gonna get! Zoooooooooooooom!”

“My knees hurt just reading this thread. Good Luck!”

“KICK A$$ BIRCH!!!!!!”

“I'm jealous--I used to love running. Maybe someday I will be back at it.

Have fun! Is the whole event set up for two-person teams?

Been doing any more adventure races?”

“Fritz, the event is a full marathon that just started allowing relay teams. Birch hasn't done anymore adventure races, mostly because of money and other obsticles, (me going back to work)...but he's still training.”

“thanks for the well wishes...

I have yet to figure out why i want to do it though.”
