<p>Best of luck to both of you! I loved running was I was younger, used to run the Bay to Breakers. Never did the courage to try a marathon. Good luck!</p>

<p>Yes, Gooseberry Falls was where our legs were covered with mosquitoes. Covered. But even getting out of the car on the way there we’d be swarmed.</p>
<p>Usually we tell performers to “break a leg”, but I really hate to say that to a marathon runner. Hope the weather is perfect and the miles fly by…and enjoy the hours and days of recovery!</p>
<p>I would throw up if I tried to eat a whole piece of the cake (4 layers! moist, dark, rich…). And I am an runner and avid hiker. But many a partial piece has traveled back to my hotel or home in a to-go box for breakfast the next day 
Once I even stopped just to pick up a piece for the kids when driving thru Duluth, and ferried it home for them.</p>
<p>Good luck!!! =)</p>
<p>The very best of luck to both of you; I’m very impressed. Once in a while I run to catch a bus, but that’s about it for me.</p>
<p>Yeah!!! We’ll all be cheering from afar! I ran 5 - 6 marathons, several years ago, but none since 2003. You’re inspiring me (almost!) to do another! Hope you have a great day!</p>
<p>intparent- I’m getting really excited for this cake, and the beer, and to see MOWC. I hope the cake lives up to the hype. Eitherway just the thought will be motivation. It will be a fun filled weekend. We just have to spend Sat. morning running.</p>
<p>Very cool – good luck and you go, girls!</p>
<p>WOW, </p>
<p>good luck to the both of you</p>
<p>Way to go, girls!!! Good luck.</p>
<p>Happy trails! I would never make it…would have to stop too often to take pics of the scenery! (photography is my sport)</p>
<p>Good luck wish I could join you. Sending cheers. :)</p>
<p>Made it as far as Chicago/Midway and we’re delayed about an hour it looks like. Glad we came in today instead of tomorrow! Stopping to take pictures isn’t a bad plan, actually. At Big Sur Marathon lots of people do that.</p>
<p>In case you need another meal tomorrow or Sunday, today’s Minneapolis paper had a writeup on good things to do and eat in Duluth. They raved about the sandwiches from a place called Northern Waters Smokehaus; it is in the Canal Park DeWitt-Seitz marketplace. I haven’t tried it, but fully intend to on my next trip to Duluth. Have a great run!</p>
<p>Have fun in Duluth. A fun city. And heading out of town, I love Gooseberry Falls, the Split Rock Lighthouse… Always wanted to do the drive around Lake Superior. Maybe when we’re retired. </p>
<p>I once ran into an out of town colleague (someone I hadn’t seen for a while) and she looked great. She had been walking marathons with some of her old friends. They would meet up in cool cities and walk the marathon there. That sounds fun. (Running a marathon sounds scary! Too much to even contemplate.) Good luck, good luck!</p>
<p>Way to go, ladies!! Congrats and good luck!! </p>
<p>My S did a triathalon in April. I am in awe of all you athletes!</p>
<p>good luck! With all the marathons in the world, you are running Duluth… ok, have fun and do well!! :D</p>
<p>Another former marathoner here wishing you both luck!</p>
<p>I did the Marine Corps once and found it to be a much bigger mental challenge than physical.</p>
