Dangit, just realized its the same day I planned to run 20 miles. Guess, I'll run the half and then tack 7 miles onto it.

My wife is running the full. Her training partner bailed. Assuming I can pull off 20 this weekend I'll be running with her.

Oh and it's the morning after my company Christmas party.

Running the half and that will be the longest distance I've ever run.

Some of you are crazy.

Pretty much what I'm thinking. My girlfriend should be there so I can give her medal/shirt/maybe flag stuff. Run from the finish line to Katy Trail, up to SMU and then over to the DART stop at Lover's Lane. That should be ~20 so I'll take the train up to the last stop at Parker station and walk home from there.

Here's a 2:20 run from my IM training plan this year. It was the longest workout the plan had me do (plus another 4 easy later in the day). Here's the breakdown.

20' wu
2x30' at Z2 (RPE 6, 70IF) - mid to high HR Zone 2 - 5' Zone 1 (RPE 5, 60IF) recovery between
2x12' at Z3 (RPE 7, 80IF), 5' Z1 in between again
10' at Z4 (RPE 8, 90IF) and then 6' cool down

Well crud. Registration closed. Looks like last weekend's 20 miles of misery was all for nothing.

Seriously didn't think it would close / sell out. Lesson learned.

In for the half. Registered in May, then found out I needed to have a work trip to Germany first week of December. I'm flying back the day before. Should make for an interesting race day!

Half. Looking forward to it. My first big running event in a few months.

wcb, my wife and I registered together back in may, but shes not running since she's now 5 months pregnant. There are no refunds/differrals, so we have a bib she's not planning to use. It's yours if you want it, can't imagine how much suckage you're feeling after finishing the training and not being able to race.

email me at

djbond11 at gmail dot com if you're interested, we can try and make something work.

Good luck to all!

Race isn't today! And thankfully not Thursday or Friday.

Don't like the 10-15 mph SSW wind. Last 1/3 of the race will be right into it.

Looks like 50's, 90% humidity and 20mph wind. Ideal running weather.
The Pilot

Better running weather than like 4 of the last 5 dallas marathons.

Unfortunately ideal running conditions rarely line up with raceday. I'm nearing marathon 25, maybe 4 or 5 had near perfect weather.

After flying back from Munich yesterday I was pretty worried about the race but still managed under 2 hours for the half. Hope everyone else had a great race.

1:51. Ran the first part of the half with the gal carrying the Thin Blue Line version of Old Glory. Probably a little bit slower than I wanted, but we had a nice chat. Busted the last half. Wished there had been some clocks on the course though.

Far from a PR but was not expecting one. Great day running with my wife. Thx again to DJB for the hookup. Got lots of grins as folks cheered me on by name.

For those of us closer to the back the wind was BRUTAL miles 20-26.

Wind also got me at 20-26. That was miserable.
