This weekend my friends, I will check off number 10 on the list.  On Sunday, I will be running 26.2 miles in one go.  For those of you in Los Angeles, that’s the distance from Santa Monica to Arcadia.  For Austinites, that’d be like running from downtown Austin to Georgetown.  As it is, we’re going to circumnavigate Austin completely!  The goal is less then 6 hours.  if I run at a constant pace of 5 mph, that’ll get me done in about 5 hours and 15 min which leaves a little wiggle room for walking if I need to.  I can pretty easily run 3 miles in 30 min n0w, so I’ve just got to do that about 9 more times and I’m good to go.  Easy right?  I’m gonna head over to the Palmer Convention Center tomorrow to pick up my bib and chip and whatnot.

Who else has run a marathon before?  What times did you get?  It’ll give me something to shoot for.
