Nashville, Here I come

As I’ve been preparing for the Philadelphia Half Marathon, I’ve received a lot of literature regarding the Country Music Half Marathon in Nashville, TN.  I’ve never been to Nashville, but as a musician, everyone tells me I have to go there.  As a runner, everyone tells me I need to go there.  The blend of music, great weather, a nice course and the partying city of Nashville have been cited over and over as the reason to put this race on your list.  As well, signing up for such a race will keep my training sharp, as I’ll need to keep my focus if I plan to PR at this one.

So, having said that, I have, somewhat impulsively, signed up for the Country Music Half Marathon being held on April 28, 2007.  This will keep me out on the course and focused.  It will also allow me to test some theories that I’ll be reading in my 2 newest running books:  The Competitive Runners Handbook and Jack Daniels’ Running Formula.  Let’s see what kind of improvement I can make in 5 months.

If you have any experience with this course, or have heard anything of note, then please feel free to comment!

See ya in Nashville, ya’ll.
