Professor Hathaway: You still run?
Chris Knight: Only when chased.

Hey Aaron...I'm also doing the 1/2. Kinda wish I'd have gone all out and attempted the full but such is life. I've been training pretty hard for it and haven't been on the bike too much the last 2-3 months. dryheat? is also up to the challenge. Should be a lot of fun. We had an intern at work who has done the last 3 or 4 and he said it's really laid back and just fun to do.

We're sticking around for Everclear too. The wife and I are big fans of theirs. Hopefully we can meet up b/4 or after.

Doing the 1/2 here as well. Been training for the past two months. My wife and I ran 9 miles today, our longest run to date. Next weekend is our 10 mile run. Should be a fun run with all the music.

it seems rather odd that a chinese restaurant is trying to associate itself with something healthy

My wife and I are both doing the half. I have only run twice since Thanksgiving - and strained my left calf both times. She's been running 3X/week and just did 10 miles today.

It's going to be fun.

I'm doing the 1/2, did it last year as well. I don't have time to train for a full, that's my excuse and I am sticking to it!

Such a slacker I have been the last couple weeks. My parents came in from Colorado 2.5 weeks ago and I have only run twice, plus I probably gained 5 pounds with all the home cooked meals. Still I am in much better shape than last year and hope to finish in under 2 hours 10 minutes.

good luck to you all! PF Changs is a very well run event, lots of fun and draws huge crowds. the expo is awesome for free samples and gear, the music breaks are also fun. My wife's done it 4 times and its always been fun chasing the course on my bike - highly recommend it as a different kind of bike adventure and your runners will love the support.

Got my starting corral and bib number.
corral 15
#35801
anyone else going to be in 15?
I put down a 2:30:00 finish time,i really wasn't sure about the length of time I would take to complete the 13.1.I did 10.6 the other night in 1:52,so I should be right around the 2:30 mark

 

[Tom93R1]

I got corral 11 with an estimated 2:15 time (#31399). Based on my training runs up through DecemberI think that will be just about right, but based on my laziness and overeating during the holidays who knows, hopefully I didn't derail my training too much.

Shooting for a 1:16 give or take. Hammered out a 10 miler in 58:37 yesterday.

:eekster: That is smoking! :thumbsup:

I'm shooting for simply not injuring myself during the event.

Last 2 Chang's were 1:52 & 2:15. If I can fall in between those two, I'll be thrilled!

I did the Las Vegas half back in December. I did alright. I used it mainly for a training run. Finish time was 1:23:32 not my fastest but also not my slowest.

 

[Crash_FLMB]

Dang that is smokin' dude. I'm shooting for under 2 hrs which I'd be proud of for this run down almost 38 year old body. I've knocked my 6 mile time down to 46 and change and have lost about 10 lbs in the last year or so. My 10 mile time was 1:30 on a very bad day. I was sick and didn't eat enough b/4 hand. I think 1:55 is very possible but one never knows how your gonna feel come race day. We'll see...should be fun either way.

During these races I usually run the first 10 miles at a steady pace then the last 5k i treat it as a 5k race were i then usually pick up the pace. The last mile is where I'll push it as hard as I can. Although sometimes it does not work that way

 

[Ghostrider]

I have done the 1/2 and the full in the past few years. Doing the ultra 50K this year.

Good luck to you all out there!
How is the Health and Fitness Expo downtown? Is it worth taking a trip downtown to check out?

 

[Tom93R1]

The Expo is geared to the runners, it's not too big. But there usually are free samples of things like Cliff bars, GU, even Miller beer. If I wasn't running, I don't know that there is enough that I would go.

The expo was cool

it is for the running crowd although there was enough crossover gear and free goodies to make it worth while.got to sample alot of things and see some great stuff too.

Good luck runners!
Hope to see some of you out on the course.
