DP & some BBC

I just had to post this marathon my dad and uncles are starting in the city of Logan, UT. Anyone who knows my Emmett family and understands the importance of Dr. Pepper and Gma. Norda's Banana Bread will be entertained...the rest of you can just skip it!

I'm hoping I can participate in the first annual DP-BBC ultra-half marathon but I've been slaking in my running since June - here's a new motivation to hit the treadmill again! check out Norda's blog here

Norda's Ultra-Half Marathon

Norda's (maybe first annual)

Dr. Pepper, Banana Bread & Cheese

Ultra-Half Marathon;

Run For The Cure

Saturday October 11th, '08

Course: Leaving Norda & John Emmett's home the course will head north a few blocks then west winding through the historic streets of Logan. We will then run/jog south by the legendary 15 year old Norda's location, 77 North Main (1st aid station). Continuing south past some other historical spots we will wind into Providence (2nd aid station), River Heights and east toward the mouth of Logan Canyon. This will set up a swell mile run on a trail along the canal followed by a .5 mile finish on the road. No longer than 15.6 but at least 13.2 miles. Keep checking for official course info.

At least two aid stations will be provided at certain points yet to be officially determined. Dr. Pepper & Norda's Home Made Banana Bread (NFE-BB) will be at the start, aid stops and finish. Yum.... oh, we'll have H2O and sports drinks too.
