I'll be running tomorrow. I haven't trained right this winter. I never do. But if I wait until I'm in shape to run the half marathons I would never do it.
Last year I ran 7 halfs and by the end of the summer was in pretty good shape. I was consistently running around 1:50 which is pretty good for a 5'10'', 200lb 35 year old.
If I lost 30lbs I'd be flying. But I am too busy to exercise like I'd like to and too busy to eat like I'd like to. I know it is a matter of priorities, but it is very tough for me to do what I'd really like to do fitness wise.
Where are you planning lunch after the race?

We ate at Slickrock Cafe. Great food, terrible waiter. GRRR...
That was actually my first time leaving a really bad tip.
Anyway, Moab's really hard to train for unless you really like running inside. I ran it a couple of years ago without training at all, thinking "I used to run--how hard can it be?". We camped the night before, my 8-month old was up all night because it was cold, so I took him for a long car road about 4 am. Made the mistake of getting a Sausage biscuit at the only place open that early--McD's--thinking it would be out of my system by the time I raced. No sleep + No training + Sausage biscuit = wanting to die as I fall across the finish line at a speedy 2:20.
Trained a little better this year, but I absolutely hate the treadmill. Plus, I don't think Moab's a very fast course, despite what some people have told me. So far from my best, but it was a fun race.
