In thinking about future (way into the future) runs, I am starting a list of races that would be interesting experiences. I'll start with Minnesota as I am guessing runs outside of Minnesota will be a little more difficult to get to until the babies have enough allowance to pay for the trip.
The beginning Minnesota list:
- Minneapolis Marathon This race is the first one I would like to do when I am able to get back in shape. The course looks awesome and I love running in the city. But the biggest reason is the sweet gear for running the marathon.
- Heart of the City Half Marathon A race close to home that supports a good cause - helping youth.
- Lake Wobegon Trail Marathon A race along the Lake Wobegon Trail from Holdingford to St. Joseph.
- The Ham Run Half Marathon A race along the Gunflint Trail. It looks pretty and travels from one point to another.

I don't know if Ed Lee's running-with-babies days are part of your experience, Angie, but he had once the same desires you do now: to get back into running shape after having babies. So, he ran with a stroller (of the running variety), and got back into his pre-pregnancy stride in no time. I'll bet he has some tips for you!
An out-of-stater looms ahead, too, Aunchie! Don't forget the City of Oaks! Maybe they'll have an abbreviated race for new moms! :-)
Angie, Did you and Charlie see the review of Once a Runner by John L. Parker in the Sunday Trib. Sounds like a book you would love.
Angie-you and the babies were in my dream the other night. It was a really weird dream....I think I am taking on your pregnancy dreams - but I'm not pregnant! I'll have to tell about it sometime....it was wacko!
