Brian,
I'm running the Denver Marathon on Sunday. There will be a pretty big Glucomotive/Insulindependence presence at the race. Here's the schedule:
http://glucomotive.org/events/team-fundraising/denver-marathon-weekend
I'll be arriving very late Friday night, so I'll miss the Friday night event:
"6 p.m. Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery
Meet fellow runners, friends and family for a night of food and fun. The venue is just 6 blocks from the convention center where packet pick up is in the heart of downtown Denver."
I will definitely be at the Saturday night event, and the post-race lunch at 2 PM at City Grille.

I did the Estrella Mountain XTerra Trail 20K yesterday, and it wiped me out pretty good. I was hoping to see Suzanne there, but we didn't connect. Judging from the results, she was way ahead of me through the whole race.
In addition to taking forever, which I would have to expect from my level of training, or lack thereof, I took a header about a mile and a half from finishing. Got some nice scrapes. If you're going to be coming in limping and struggling toward the back of the pack, it's always nice if you're bleeding and covered with dirt, so you have an excuse.
So it all worked out. Too bad there won't be any rocky trails on the Denver Marathon course.

Congratulations to all of you training for success in your upcoming races. One of these days I've got to start doing that again.

Brian,

Insulindependence will be there. I'll probably run it next year with them.

Good luck!

Oh right Chicago! Maybe you mentioned there was a group of diabetics running in Denver? insulinindependence? or maybe I'm thinking of someone else! I've had a lot of chats about running : ) lately. Good luck in Chicago! I loved running my last 1/2 there!

I'm running in Chicago on Sunday, not Denver! Have a great race though Brian. I am sort of bouncing off the walls with the not running as much the last couple of weeks.

Ok so who is running in Denver on Sunday! Can't wait. I love race day. acidRock you're in right? Where did you say you guys were meeting up on Friday?

I've been able to successfully add mileage every week by running twice on my easy run days. Sometimes on my tempo run days I'll still run again after dinner because it seems like my legs are less sore the next day if I do so. I'm certainly no speed demon, but I have been able to get my mileage to 80 a week. I just finished a marathon last weekend, have a half in a week, and am finishing the season with Marine Corps Marathon Oct. 30. The extra mileage makes me feel strong and prepared. I'll get to the finish line...eventually! ;)

I have never gotten this kind of mileage during training but since joining my running group I've increased my distances and am running 5 times a week. According to my coach I should get to about 60 miles a week at the peak of my training. One of the guys I run with (well at least we start together - he run a 3:10 marathon) ran 75-80 miles per week before he started tapering for the Amsterdam marathon (two weeks away)

Nice final "long run" tapered to 8 miles today and ready to load up some carbs to get ready for the race! You are a machine Mike (and all of you folks in the ultra thread! Wow!!), I don't think I ran much more than 40-45 miles/ week training wise. I paced myself on the mileage but am feeling very well now!

If any of you lives in the SD area ASweetlife is giving away tickets for the TEDxDelMar in San Diego, discussing the future of diabetes.

Feeling proud I just wanted to share that I finished another week of training with a 53 miles. Been sick all week but not sick enough to stop running.
