Running a half marathon this Sunday.

Been training for 26.2 mile marathon on October 9th here in Chicago 

I am up to 16 miles now

I am doing a half marathon (13.1 miles) this sunday August 28 in my old home town of Batavia, Il 

As of right now I am 10 minutes slower than the person who came in last at this half marathon last year ...

although my last work out I was doing miles a minute faster than I usually do -- so maybe not ... 

but it's a course with a lot if hills  - 

so maybe 

None the less   I am doing it anyway - someone has to be last - why would it be a friend of Bapu's who coems in last  - makes sense from that perspective


here are my work outs from my training - as of last July anyway - >>> http://connect.garmin.com/explore?owner=mooch4056


I'll make a short video of the start and ending of the race - and maybe at a couple of  hydration stops and post a video for you all 



quote of the day

Best of luck Paul

Thanks Steve! 

So which half are you running?

Mooch,
 I hope you have a great day and make a new personal record!

best,
mike

Hehe...  Yeah, I won't run unless someone is chasing me (and, since I'm 6'4" 235lbs. with a martial arts background and projectile weapons that probably won't be happening anytime soon either!).

Mooch, you've got to be glad you're not in L.A. for this half-merriment. It's estimated to be 100 degrees F this weekend.

Mooch, you've got to be glad you're not in L.A. for this half-merriment. It's estimated to be 100 degrees F this weekend with a 100% chance of heavy smog and dangerous idiots.

Good luck, Mooch.
