	Amy - 9/29/2008 10:54 AM I see that you have "Marathon" as one of your Connect With Me categories. Great news! We have added a few new articles to the Marathon category in the Know How section (go to Build, Use, Share Know How > Race Distances > Marathons). The articles are great marathon tips and advice compiled from Loungers.
	trailman - 9/11/2008 3:06 PM What's new Rick! Sorry for the late reply...I'm crazed at work right now. Anyhow, I think it's WAY cool to have access to the many trails in your area. How could you ever grow tired/bored? I see your doing the Timberline Marathon next Saturday..is this your first attempt here? Good Luck! I'm envious!! -Al
	trailman - 9/9/2008 5:01 AM Hey Rick! First let me say that I'm no where near your caliper of running. I've only discovered trail running this past December while running at a local park (Bull Run). They host a 50-miler named The Bull Run Run (http://www.vhtrc.org/brr/) that I hope to participate in sometime. Still have many miles of training though... After doing some homework I found that there is also the W&OD trail (http://www.wodfriends.org/) that is 45 miles of mainly asphalt. Not much in the way of back-country wilderness but it'a far enough away rom mankind that it's worth the adventure. There is also the Manassas Battlefield (http://www.nps.gov/mana/) that I have yet to check out. Like I said...I'm no where near your caliper but anxious to learn. Looking forward to picking your brain and following along with your marathons. -Al
	Amy - 8/22/2008 7:25 AM Welcome to the Lounge! You have some awesome goals! One look at your blog and goals and it was an easy decision to add your blog as a featured one on the home page and add you as a runner others should get to know.
