People are so fun and friendly and just love to have fun and be fun. <br /><br />Have you been to Chicago? Regardless I highly recommend a little stop there...talk about fun. The most ridiculous times of my life were spent in that city! And, you can also take the train from Chi-->Milwakuee and bring a 6 pack or whatever on. It's what people DO there. Drink.<br /><br />Ok, I'm done now.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08136959009114830309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417535823506217209.post-37863030709963560632009-05-06T19:53:00.000-07:002009-05-06T19:53:00.000-07:00I found my husband in WI, so there may be hope!

Man, I forgot about that one!<br /><br />As for Milwaukee - I hear this is a good race - a nice alternative to the craziness of Chicago Marathon (which is a week later, I believe). I have family running Chicago, but just today thought about doing Wisconsin - but only if they have a 1/2. No full for me this year!<br /><br />Also, me and my fiance did a weekend trip up to Milwaukee last year - it was actually fun! There is more to do than meets the eye - you will definately have fun! <br /><br />Good choice!!Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01112543383394992568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417535823506217209.post-68464380506718692092009-05-06T16:35:00.000-07:002009-05-06T16:35:00.000-07:00yesssssssssss exciting :) :) :)yesssssssssss exciting :) :) :)Aronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418163097675963683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417535823506217209.post-44912606978854367172009-05-06T16:23:00.000-07:002009-05-06T16:23:00.000-07:00Wahoo!

I'...Hi...I've been following your blog for awhile.<br /><br />I'm from the Milwaukee area and have run the Lakefront Marathon twice...in 2003 and 2004. It's nice for a smaller marathon and I've heard they've made some improvements in the last few years since I ran it. <br /><br />The course is pretty flat and it goes in a slight downhill the whole way so it's a good one if you're trying to qualify for Boston or PR. <br /><br />It starts at the high school in Grafton which is one of the outlying north suburbs. The first few miles are through farmland and then through a residential area of Mequon, another suburb. Once you hit Mequon, you are pretty much by Lake Michigan although you don't really see it much until the last five or so miles. After Mequon you'll go through affluent old North Shore suburbs where there are beautiful old mansions on a tree-lined street. Then there is a bigger downhill that takes you onto the final stretch along the lake. The race ends at Veterans Park and there is a nice big area for spectators and hanging out after the race.<br /><br />As far as Wisconsin....well....I've lived here all my life. We get four distinct seasons and early October is a nice time to visit as the leaves will have started changing and the weather will be warm but not too hot. The two times I did the Lakefront Marathon the weather was pretty ideal although during the second one, a really strong wind picked up that slowed us down considerably. I have a few pics up on my blog from those marathons that you could look at to kind of get an idea of what it's like.<br /><br />I'd love to do the Lakefront with you, but am already signed up to run Chicago. I think they are on two different weekends though so I may have to come watch!!!<br /><br />This marathon does have a limit to the number of people and has sold out the last few years by summertime...so sign up if you haven't already!!! <br /><br />If you have any other questions let me know : )NancyPantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01023542016638539238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417535823506217209.post-74213456697195843062009-05-06T11:31:00.000-07:002009-05-06T11:31:00.000-07:00I've only ever driven through Wisconsin, but I'm s...I've only ever driven through Wisconsin, but I'm sure the marathon will be great!
