December 10 in Tucson. Ive done a full and a half before. But I’ll be 50 when this one hits.
If you’d like to run it with me I would be a gracious host. Also, free handy’s from Meow Mix if you finish under 1:50

What’s your running schedule been like for the last year? Will you follow a certain plan to train for the half?

My ex mother in law won a half for her age group and hadn’t trained a day for it. She had done a hand full of 5k months before . When we would show up for races the old ladies would be pissed“ fuck Shirley is here”.

I did a marathon once. I fucking hate running but I thought I’d at least run one just to say I had … and to see if I could. Fuck they are terrible. Zero fun.
I just hate running so god damn much.
Lol … any way, good luck you old fucker!
What’s your goal time?

I really do want to do another marathon. I did the rock n roll marathon in Phoenix like 8 years ago, but that’s the only one I’ve done

Awesome!
The 20 mile wall is real. I almost quit when I hit it, but powered through. The last mile was pure adrenaline and I sprinted across the finish line

I did a half years ago and this guy sprinted the end and ate shit. He ended up scorpioning and
Him and his mom kept screaming about his digger,” fuck , fucking a.!!!, fuck!!!”.! I interceded and reminded them this was a family event. Total trash

Lol, yeah the last couple seconds before the finish line was a crazy mad dash. I remember I blew right by a couple people just before crossing because fuck them lmao. And then immediately collapsed on the ground

Mine was set up where the last mile + was slightly downhill and then I finished in a running track.
I let two people enter the track in front of me. I slow jogged that. I wanted to enjoy that finish.
