5 weeks left to the first half marathon for my season (Dismal Swamp Stomp). Last year it took 2:05 and was my first true distance run. I actually won one of the cash prizes for being the guy that was the median for my age group. Not too fast, not too slow. A running Goldilocks perhaps. My brother kicked my butt in the race last year but I am on my own this year. He has gotten fancy and is training for a triathlon in North Carolina.

My training so far has been hampered by work since the site I work for (SnagAJob.com) is going through a major overhaul and that has taken a lot out of me. However, I am up to a 11 mile long run and I am clocking about 20 miles a week. I don’t think I will beat my time from last year who knows
