Are you running the 12K in Tacoma this weekend? What is the race like, my wife and I are looking at the 5k preping for the R2P relay.

I am not. This will be the first time in three years I've missed it. Sound to Narrows was my first race three years ago and I have fond memories. It is a very challenging course though. It's got a severe downhill to start and two long brutal uphills at the end. Should be good weather for the race though. I'm not running it this year because I'm running another race closer to home. It's the Fall City 10k and 5k. If you are looking for a very flat and fast 5k, you should try the Fall City race on Saturday.

I am a new marathon runner. I have only run one. I am going to run the Twin City Marathon in October. Have you ever run it before? What advice would you give me. I am also trying for an "A" standard at that race. Thanks
