Where have all the runners gone?

It sure has been quiet in the world of blogging for the Mighty Marathoners.  I hope it's because there is lots of running with too little time to write.  I thought we better get the blog going again if we are ever going to get to Boston en mass - we're hopefully still aiming for 2012.  A lot has happened since the last CIM posting.  In different half marathons, both Abby and Alexa ran 148's.  I think Katie Hammond ran this weekend in Hyannis but I have not been able to track down the results yet.  Nate may have sat out with injuries.  This weekend, Todd Y and Todd Z have a go at the Napa Marathon.  I'm hoping to better my BQ time to be able to register with an earlier wave.  I have been running well with a number of medium length runs of 10-14 miles.  But the long runs are still limited.  Speaking of long runs Katy Gifford is prepping for the AR50 (American River 50 miler from Sacramento to Auburn) in April.  Alexa and Katy did a training run of 21 miles last week; Kate ran 26 this week.  Now that's some distance training.  Time for me to go to work.  I'd love to hear from others.  Let's get this blog going again.  See you at the starting line, Todd.
