(I started writing about Nancy Mieszczak’s 32-year-old races back in 2010. I thought they’d been too much fun to be enjoyed just once; and, maybe just a little bit, I wanted to show The Kids how the Old Folks used to roll back in the days of yore. Anyways, I initially crammed a bunch of her races into one continuing post. Lately I’ve been writing them up one by one. If you’re interested, you can start from the beginning here.)

The Skinny: In our warmup run the day before the race, we were surprised to learn that Birmingham is so hilly. With the help of friendly hotel staff, we also found a wonderful Italian Restaurant which served herbed olive oil and bread as an appetizer. It’s hard to believe now, but we’d never had that before. Birmingham was a terrific host: thanks!
Coming next time: Rocket City Marathon
