Best of luck. Maybe Ill see you there, its on my event list. I have done a half, but never a full so should be interesting. I was going to do it last year, but ended up with some knee issues with the amount of miles I was doing, so had to stop running for a while.

Ahhhhhh..... I remember the days......In my 30's and 40's
Young and Beautuful....
Now I have to be content with just being Beautiful
Be good to your knees, You'll miss them when they are gone
I was more of a 10K and Turkey trot sort of guy myself.
37:41 was my best 10K and I did the Turkey trot with 6:18 splts but anything more then 15 miles I just crapped out usually. 'gotta hold that pace to do Boston you know.
It's a good time to run here though ' cause it's starting to get hot and I like that .
Cold Scuba Dives and Hot Road Running..... Both Solo ......
What a beautiful World !!!

Yes its on December 14th I think, 100 bucks to get in 3 hours 40 mins to qualify for me
Better bundle up well, then, because it will be colder than kraut that day. Last year, it was cold and wet with sleet. :11:

It'd be a good idea not to overexert yourself before a dive if you plan on doing anything that could be of decent depth and time (dehydration is a leading factor to DCS). I would recommend diving, then a marathon of Red Bull and vodka, you'll probably feel the same by the end of the night.
I'll be training for the half - San Antonio Rock n Roll and White Rock. (I need to start!) Did it last year - in the rain and sleet. I once had a desire to train for a full, but then I ran a half and dont really want to do twice that much. Maybe after I run a few more halfs (injury free).
