The Hottest Half(4 Comments)
Anyone can run a half but only SERIOUS runners can run one in the middle of August in Texas! Actually I’m getting out easy and running the 10k… John Hanc, an editor from Runner’s World is running in the race (I wonder how fast he is? I guess we’ll see) to get tips on hot weather running for an upcoming article. Also they are doing finisher’s medals for both the 10k and the Half (no excuse not to place in your AG, IMO though) Anyways, go sign up – NOW!!! Race entry goes up August 9th and you don’t wanna give Mellew more money than you have to right? I am challenging myself to up my mileage starting this week so that I can have a good race.
I signed up for the 10k as well, but after my poor showing in the Too Hot this weekend I may need to retire early, but instead I think I need to step up training a couple of notches also.. all you seasoned vets out there please tell me what I’m doing wrong. This weekend was 38:42 and I think my last 5k was around 35 (although it was a lot cooler at that one).. kinda feel like I’m going backwards here! I got punked by a bunch of 8 yr olds this weekend!
Hey Katie…I saw this article and thought this might be you in a year or two :) This lady did 50 marathons in all 50 states in 3 years.

wow that is really impressive! check out Steph’s 50 Marathon Challenge, http://50marathonchallenge.blogspot.com she is attempting to be the youngest female to run a marathon in all 50 states (I think she is 24)
That’s really awesome! I think it is a really awesome goal but I have to complete my first full before I can even imagine it for myself! You, on the other hand, are the super “member of the year” this could totally be within your reach. :)
