Running Without Someone Chasing Me

July 4, 2008 — 3 Comments

This is the weekend. I’ve been training towards it for 12+ weeks. It’s Half-Marathon week. (It was actually last Saturday, but with the moving and somesuch I pushed it back one week.)

But instead of flying out to some great destination and letting the locals pass me water and cheer me on, my Half-Marathon will be up and down 98th Street in Lubbock. I’ll try and cut a 6 1/2 mile destination out of town, and then run it back to the house. For those math losers out there, yes that is 13 miles. (Or as I like to say, 13 FREAKING MILES!) I have offically named this Saturday, July 5th as the date for the Official littlepastor Half-Marathon Event. It will begin promptly at 7am, or whenever I finally get out of the house. It will end when my tired legs have been adequetly tortured for 13 miles. After this very unofficial event there will be an offical littlepastor Half-Marathon nap, sponsored by my kids and wife being out of town all day Saturday.

I’m still trying to get my ‘last 5 runs’ meter to start working over in the right column. I’m sorry for all 2 of you that even noticed it was there over the past 12 weeks, that it hasn’t been working correctly.

    I am expecting 13 miles in under 2 hours. You can do it. I know you can.
