I wanted to give props to our good friend Steve for holding his own Turkey Trot in Baghdad. Steve's been running in the Cowtown Turkey Trot for the last several years (if not the last decade...I haven't made one yet.) The problem was, he couldn't make it this year because he decided to stop complaining about Iraq and, instead, try to do something about it. So he loaded up the truck and moved to...Baghdad...with the State Department working on reconstruction projects. But Steve's a doer*, and it will come as no surprise to any that he organized his own Thanksgiving Run in the Green Zone. He emailed me that it came off quite well.
*Except for that one August day when he left us with a moving van full of boxes, a new house, and a tepid water hose (in a dry city), then went to see his son's soccer game.

Looks like fun. I read that they have a version of the Peachtree Road Race out there as well.
I was thinking about coming into town for this year's Cowtown marathon--have any of y'all run it before? Is the course decent?
Dick,
I just went to Cowtown Marathon.org. They have the maps all hooked into Google Maps... real cool. Perhaps somebody else can commment about the elevations along the way. Hopefully no Dolly Partons at the 23 mile wall!f
