Being that I am not typically a blogger, but am excited for your half. They are addicitive. Like I said on the other wall- I have now done 8 13.1s and 1 (and only ONE) 26.2 (now THAT was NOT fun!) I have found that running 14 miles on your last long training day makes the race so much more comfortable. It can be said it is a mental mile, but once you've done 14, 13.1 is a breeze. Be sure to have good music or someone who can talk for 2 hours solid to run with. Glide, Luna Moons and old school gatorade will keep ya going! Good luck. Good Cause.

I predict you finish in 1 hr 49min and that I will come in much slower than that! : ) Alright superman.. you should have taken your wife's advice and run it slow and easy.. that's what makes these ungodly long runs bearable.

Then you didn't do as bad as I did at the Race for the Cure in Aspen. They traced a chalkline at the finish line and now I believe it is a real chalkline of the first place winner. 3 miles is all it took for me to collapse into Cordell Stewarts arms back in 2000 and I think I heard him call for a medic as I was not able to let go of him. Finally I did let go but could not walk as my legs were gumby's and called that my last race. Thank God I can still walk but it really showed me just what it takes to do something like that so, My Hat is off to you and others for doing your best and hopfully you will get out there again. It was alot of fun. PS Hey Bob, I love clouds and hoped you might find some of my pictures interesting. askmern.com Also found some Surfers rafer might like to watch, surfing the Colorado River. YES, I said surfers on the river. Check it out, where can I send you a video? Hi Bob,
