still time to join us at sunday's minneapolis marathon

I missed last weekend's Madison Marathon for a conference, but found a lovely alternative in this Sunday's Minneapolis Marathon. The race begins in Urban Paradise then ambles up the river to ol' Fort Snelling. Rodney Pygoya Chang's depiction of last year's race sure entices:

I hear it is a smaller-scale, lower-key affair than the Twin Cities marathon in October, which sounds dead solid perfect for me. If the prospect is similarly enticing to you, there's still time to register for the marathon or half-marathon.
