#grandmasmarathon — Public Fediverse posts

Funny how spectating a marathon puts on the miles! We are not “grab a spot at the finish line and camp out until your runner passes” people, so Saturday was a morning of exploring the race infrastructure and logistics.

Logged 6 miles & 14,000 steps

11+ miles for the weekend

Post race tradition at #grandmasmarathon - a visit to Pizza Lucé for beer and pizza

Will travel to Duluth and surrounding areas for #allTheWifi and a #marathon while we’re at it. Cheap hotels that accept dogs tend to be far afield…

Infinitely proud of my son, second #grandmasMarathon and he shaved 5:21 off last year’s time to finish in 2:54:36

Beautiful day for #grandmasMarathon

Pregaming #grandmasMarathon in McGregor, MN at the local. There is no concept of dark beer here, so you have what they have.

#GoldenRoadBrewing Mango Cart wheat ale - sweet mango, super light and refreshing

#CastleDanger cream ale - local and reliably creamy

#fridayBeers

Day off Friday - headed for #grandmasMarathon in Duluth

Vacation Daze for sure! #FalseIdolBrew kicks it off

Chocolatey cocoa smooth, coconut and vanilla in a rich body with a tiny note of bitter on the finish.

Ten days until #grandmasMarathon

Not my shoes, my son’s

I just cheerlead

Of course, even after the race, my laundry room will still look like this…

Better approach to #grandmasMarathon by my son this year - reserve a hotel BEFORE registration opens! Got the same place we stayed last year, 40 minutes away from Duluth.

And he’s registered, so we know what we are doing 6/20/2026

Was preoccupied with prep for my son's run of #grandmasMarathon and completely missed that June 18 was my *21st* anniversary on @WiGLEnet

Been doing the #wardrive since 2004. The rigs have come SO far in that time. The wireless tech has propagated to unimaginable density.

And I'm here to put #dotsOnMaps and capture #allTheWifi (and BlueTooth) that will show it's face :)

Thanks to @ArkFromWiGLE
and @bobzilla
and #uhtu AND the Community for keeping this hobby going!

My son ran his first ever marathon at Grandma’s this morning in Duluth.

Finished in 2:59:46

I am endlessly PROUD of him, having stuck to his training program & put in over 800 miles along the way. His splits were almost perfect, consistent to nearly a 1 second variance. He ran the race he planned, and the course rewarded him!

Funny when you are at the local in small town northern MN (Mcgregor) and you get a glass from your home town (Minneapolis) brewery containing the (Two Harbors) local!

#castleDanger Cream Ale - Creamy smooth and malty, slightly sweet, refreshing

My son registered for #grandmasMarathon

Hmm, where should we stay?

Anything reasonably priced less than 50 miles from Duluth - sold out already

What about the dog? Oh yeah, her…pet friendly hotels? The offerings shrink…

Found a place about an hour west, comfortable, not that Taj Mahal but it’ll do!

#RaceRoster and #GrandmasMarathon in #Duluth #Minnesota set a new record for slow registration tonight. Last year I waited 45 minutes to register. This year: 90+ minutes. ProTIP for race organizers - either use a registration service with enough capacity or don't spam potential participants encouraging them to all try to register at the same time.

#Boston #Marathon registration submitted - now we all wait to see what the cutoff time will be this year. Based on what I have been reading, it wouldn’t be surprising if you have to beat your age group qualifying time by 7 or 8 minutes to get in. Thank god I had a very good time at #GrandmasMarathon.

My #Marathon #running dance card is set for the first half of 2024 after a 37 minute wait to register for #GrandmasMarathon. Seems like there were a few other people who jumped on the Grandmas registration the minute it opened. ProTip: Grandmas is a great race but book your hotel room now. https://grandmasmarathon.com

Hey, whatever #aerialadvertising company was flying over #Duluth all #GrandmasMarathon weekend:

1) We’re in a climate crisis, idiot, quit shilling hard seltzer or whatever from a private airplane!
2) We’ve had air quality alerts all week!
3) I couldn’t read your stupid banner anyway because you printed it too small!
