Mercedes Marathon, Birmingham, AL Feb 11

First a big THANK YOU to the folks from Portland Fit and our Friends from Jeff Galloway’s camps for your support stopping by our booth at the expo!

Birmingham’s Mercedes Marathon is a well run race and a well run expo. As you know, it’s always much better to Pre-register, and Mercedes is no exception. The weather was cool this year. I am sure the locals thought it was FREEZING, but I was quite comfortable in a light long sleeve tech shirt, vest and shorts. Birmingham is a hilly city (much like Portland is) and the course does take advantage of this fact. I did the half marathon and there is a very long steep hill that really takes the stuffing out of you, but soon you’re having to come back down and it’s fun to see the Birmingham sky line in the distance as you’re running toward the finish! Don’t forget, finish in the time limits, and you get a free entry to win a Mercedes Benz car! After the finish is a great barbeque where you have your choice of beef, pork or chicken and beer or soda. This race has a nice crowd of folks and is really enjoyable. Here are the pictures!
