Please add me to all of the pre-race meet-ups and for Hurricane Hannahs (I'm staying at the BC, so I'm thinking I'll be a regular there).

I will have to get back to you about DATW - I'm quite certain my girlfriends and I will be drinking somewhere, we just haven't nailed that down yet.:drinking1

I'll introduce to my pals Noel, Eric and Melissa!! I always drop by Hurricane Hannah's to see them every time I'm in the area - they're great!

Epcot counts as somewhere....
 




I'm hoping I'm not so completely exhausted after the marathon that we can hang out for a time this year. Most years, we just want to get on a bus and go lay down...
This is usually me. I'm really excited with how many meetups there are during Marathon Weekend.
 
Wife and I are interested in the W&D post race. Thanks so much for hosting.

Count me in for the 10k and marathon pre-race meet ups. Family obligations on Friday will likely keep me away from HH and my flight home is on Monday. Best hope for HH is if the impossible happens and my BCV waitlist comes through. I tried to lobby for staying until Tuesday, but my kids are missing 4 days of school as it is. So, I'll be hoping for a snowstorm to cancel my flight home to Providence, and then I'll be able to make it;)
 
Count me in for the marathon weekend pre race meet ups (maybe not the 5k as I'll have a nervous mammy with me) and a maybe for HH. As a massive lurker on these boards kinda feel like a bit of a chicken coming to a meet up having been not very active on these boards but would love to say thanks for all the advice I've gotten from these boards!
 
We had our Midwest DIS meet at the Milwaukee Marathon Weekend this past Sunday. It was nice to meet some friendly faces in @roxymama, @rteetz, @opusone, @*DisneyDreamer and unfortunately we missed @pixarmom. Roxy and myself wrote recaps of the race (Roxy link) (My link). Some pics!

And yes, that is a GIANT apple fritter!

Hoping to do another DIS meet sometime soon, and looks like we've got plans in the works for a DIS meet at the Chicago Marathon in 2018 (link). There's a 5k option for those not interested in doing a marathon.
