COMING SOON: SELF-TRANSCENDENCE MARATHON
I sent in my entry form and fee for the Self-Transcendence Marathon at Rockland Lake State Park near New York City. The race is on August 25th. I decided to enter this one for several reasons. First, it's on a Tuesday! A Tuesday? Who holds a race on a Tuesday???? Second, the reviews from past participants sound interesting ... people chanting, singing, playing violas! Odd. Finally, this race has an incredible international flavor. I just looked over the pre-registered runners and there are 303 ... but only one-third ... 101 ... were from the U.S.! Here a list of the countries and number of participants: Austria (26), Australia (4), Brazil (5), Bulgaria (5), Canada (7), Croatia (1) Czech Republic (30), England (3), Finland (2), France (6), Germany (32), Hungary (9), Italy (3), Kazachstan (1), Luxembourg (1), Macedonia (4), Netherlands (7), New Zealand (6), Poland (1), Portugal (1), Romania (1), Russia (8), Scotland (2), Serbia (2), Slovakia (6), South Africa (3), Switzerland (19), Ukraine (1), UK (4), Wales (1), Yugoslavia (1). It'll be like running in an international marathon without leaving the country!

I can't wait for this race report!!
Why IS this on a Tuesday? I looked into running it... but Tuesday??? Whyyy?
I agree. Why? It sounds like this event is typically full of international participants. They wouldn't be as concerned with it taking place on a weekday.
Whoa, sounds like a trippy little race!
As for the Fivefingers, I don't wear socks with them. A lot of people order them from the website, but it's European sizing so you'd have to figure that out (I had no clue what my size would be).
Oh alllllso...... have you received your medal from the Dances with Dirt marathon? I have a hook that feels pretty empty without it's hardware!
NO!!!!
I was gonna email you last night and ask you about it, but I figured you'd be sleeping and just delete it!
