Woo Hoo! We’re In!

Jack, Greg and I are in the Canyonlands Half Marahon.  They only allow 4000 participants and have a lottery to get in.  They draw 2 groups of 2000.

We were not selected in the first drawing but made it in the second!  So in about 3 short months Jack, Greg and I are off to Utah for a little hiking and a quick 13 miles run along the Colorado River.

I’m very excited!  Now I need to start doing speedwork so I can run my brother and our drummer into the ground(

Well I can’t run fast but I can run long! My favorite races are 10 milers and halfs. Their training programs generally fit into my life a little better. I do feel there is a mystique about full marathons though, and hope to do at least one a year. Running is hugely important to me. It helps me relieve stress, and allows me some quiet time to ponder the universe. Of course the pondering of the universe only comes after I stop complaining to myself about various aches and pains.
