So, I'm considering registering for the Rock & Roll 1/2 Marathon in March. I need to make up my mind pretty quick since the registration fee increases (only by $15) on Dec 1. You see....this really cute 40 (almost 41) yr old I know just ran the Rock & Roll FULL Marathon in San Antonio last weekend and has now signed up for the 1/2 Marathon in Dallas (mentioned earlier). He believes that if I start training now that I could actually finish the 1/2. I, on the other hand, do not have quite as much faith in myself. I read on the Website that they are only closing the roads for 4 hours and that they are setting up a check point and if you don't cross it within a set time frame then you won't be allowed to continue on the course. If you're too slow they will direct you to the finish area (how embarrasing would that be?). They aren't releasing the mile marker and exact time until closer to the marathon.
So...my dilemma.....should I try to train for it or should I just continue to be lazy? It's a hard decision. :) I think Destini is at least acting like she's considering it too. I'm really not sure I could walk, jog, and I KNOW not run fast enough to do 13.1 miles in four hours. I am not an athletic person...and I'm really not too found of sweat....but it could be a good experience, right?? That is if I don't fall over dead.
Girl, you can totally walk a mile in 15 minutes, so even if you walked the whole way, that is 15 min x 13.1 miles = 196.5 minutes which is 3.275 hours. You can do it!!!!
ReplyDeleteMarci, you are so cracking me up with your accounting skills! ;) Still considering it....but I'm leaning towards it. Thanks for the encouragement.
