Although I hated the small marathon we just did, at least this one has some curves to it!! That trail was a never ending straight run. <br /><br />I just may have to keep this in the back of my mind as I do like my solo training runs. Or maybe I will be one of the lonely few spectators!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01166826824086381890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4737942066744543697.post-16963198047389550512012-10-19T08:47:44.444-05:002012-10-19T08:47:44.444-05:00That sounds like where I run!

But I do like small races for their ease - you can find nearby parking (usually free!) and don't have to get there like 2 hours in advance, bathroom lines aren't long, if you do have a spectator, they can easily find you, and there is usually some fun quirk. The random quirks are the best part of small races.

I get the lure of Chicago, but I also get why you'd like to run a small one. Marathon training and running is such a solo thing.
