woohoo! i could be working the marathon and making overtime pay but instead i just paid $65 to hate myself for a couple of hours
i've always wanted to run a half..just to say i did it... so this is the year. unfortunately, i thought the race was in May and that I'd have plenty of time to train...but when i got back from a school 2 weeks ago, i realized that it's actually march 20th!
so my training regimen has been somewhat expedited. my running partner and i, (also a clydesdale at 225+lbs like me) did 8 miles last weekend and 11 miles yesterday at a 10.5 minute mile pace. feeling pretty good and ready for an additional 2.1 miles to my longest run, on saturday.
i'll be happy if i make it across the finish line around the 2.5 hour mark.
any other "husky" monkies ever run a 1/2 or full marathon? i think i'm gonna write "i hate running" across my back and ditch my shirt for the last mile
