Ran the Mississippi Blues Marathon as a workout - I knew I wasn't in good marathon shape going in, so I ran the first half at decent pace and ran the rest slowly enough to enjoy it.  Fun race, and I would recommend it to anyone who has the opportunity to run it.  Oh well, on to the fun races:  50k's, 12-hr's, and beyond (does anyone know of a good 100 in the late spring/early summer?)....

Nevels, hey, there must be more to the marathon story? Every marathon has a good story.

Congrads.

I knew going into the marathon that I wasn't in top notch shape for the event, given the fact that I had not run more than a couple of miles in the previous couple of weeks, so I decided to run the first half at a decent pace (went through the half at around 1:30), and jogged in from there. From what I saw, this was a good decision on my part, because with the hills in the latter parts of the course, trying to run a fast time could have been a frustrating experience. People would pass me during the second half, and I'd talk to them for a little while, but they would inevitably appear less happy than I was at that point. I guess trying to run hills fast late in a marathon has that effect on people. In any case, it was a solid training run and a fun visit to Jackson.

I'm guessing you've already found this site if you are looking for a 100. But if you've not had any luck finding a spring/summer race try run100s.com
