It's my first half. I hate distance running.

2:15 goal here if my knee holds up.

My wife is running. Will be her 2nd marathon. I think she's shooting for sub 4 hr as well but she fell while running last week and her knee has been a little tight. It's gotten a lot better and I think she ran 8 tonight with no issues and at a decent pace. I'll be drinking somewhere along the route and at the post race.

I ran the half last year, this year I'm volunteering at a water station. Should be much more enjoyable.

Can you carry me from your water station to the finish?

I'm at station 4, nice and early. You'll be fine at that point, later you'll realize how dumb running is.

I'm running the half at Louisiana for the third time. Hoping to run under 1 hr 45 minutes. Haven't had too much time to train lately. Looks like it will be good cool weather to run.

Im running the half at the LA marathon. Its my first half marathon. I hope to finish under 2:30. I ran the Manchac 10 miler in November but I went out the gate too fast and tired myself out by mile 6. I will jogg it out and not really run till 8 or 10. Im amped.

Good luck to all. Running the Rock and Roll 1/2 in NOLA on Super Bowl Sunday morning. Will definitely try this one next year.

I thought about the Rock and Roll. I want to do that one in Las Vegas or Brooklyn first. I signed up for 26.2 in NYC in November. I hope I get selected for it.

shite. If I make it under 2:30 at my weight right now I'd be pumped... I did 10.5 yesterday and was fine, my running high starts so damn late in my runs though... I'm struggling theough 4-6, but then I'm good. Also, I drank about a 12 pk of mixed beers cooking for the saints game on Saturday which could've made it tough for yesterday i put myself in the Clydesdale division... At least I'm admitting I'm fat!

Good luck Golfer! I ran my first half in October at the Jazz Half and ran it in 2:18:54 so I just missed it.
