Next goal: Half Marathon

by Posted on

I’ve been look­ing for a new goal, a new mark to hit. I think I’ve found it:

The US Half Marathon, San Fran­cis­co. It’s in a lit­tle under a month, so I have to stay focused. I’m stat­ing the goal right now: to com­plete the half-marathon in under two hours.

The longest dis­tance I’ve ever run before is 10.5 miles, so a half-marathon at 13.1 is a bit of a stretch, but it’s not over­ly ambi­tious. I’m ful­ly con­fi­dent that I can fin­ish a half-marathon. What will be chal­leng­ing is main­tain­ing a pace for that dis­tance. To com­plete at 9 min/mile will be quite the achieve­ment. I’ll have to work both on speed and endurance over the next month.

Any­one that’s in the Bay Area on Octo­ber 17th that would like to come cheer me on, mark it in your cal­en­dar. Also PLEASE RUN WITH ME. Not the half-marathon, I mean between then and now. Of course, any­one that wants to meet up there and run the event too would be cool. I’d appre­ci­ate any sup­port toward this goal.

    BTW, I love your moon image. (I grabbed a copy.) I was up at Stel­lafane last Sat­ur­day night at a star par­ty and was remind­ed that we have a sim­i­lar sequence of pho­tos on one of the over­head beams there. I’d like to make a still image show­ing the whole face of the moon with each piece seen at the ter­mi­na­tor. Sounds like a seri­ous Pho­to­shop job to do it right. And it would prob­a­bly take a bunch of nights to get the right pho­tos, too.
