Oh, that's just wrong... LOL. That just gives me inspiration to beat you.... I should get there, oh about 2011.
Was just teasing, of course.
I really have no idea how well or poorly I'll do. Technically, I shouldn't even being running a half marathon yet, as I haven't put in enough base miles (My marathon plan calls for a long run of 11 miles on 12/3 ). Then again, I've finished half marathons in the past with even less preparation.
I'm relatively sure I'll finish. It's just a matter of how well I can pace myself. How much I'll walk. How much I'll hurt the next day.
I have a hard time turning off the race switch whenever there's a bib pasted on me somewhere, but if I'm smart, I'll run this thing at LSD pace and treat it like a training run. Could maybe flirt with sub 1:50 if I were determined to do it.
But that wouldn't be smart.
Not smart at all.
Someone please stop me. Edited by Xan 2006-11-22 7:54 PM
