Seems like only yesterday he was asking me for shoe advice, and now he's running his first half marathon. They grow up so fast!

Good luck with the Provo River 1/2 tomorrow!

FWIW...here's my result from last year. My 1/2 marathon PR:

Place Bib Name City State Age Time Mile Pace
36 590 Shane B Riverton UT 34 01:44:35 07:59

Having just run that pace in a 4 miler I have to say I'm impressed Shane. I was wanting to die at that pace in the 4th mile, and can't imagine carrying it on for 9 more. Quite frankly, I couldn't have.

Thanks...I was proud of that race. One of my big goals, a 1:45 half, was achieved that day. Of course, it helped that a good part of the course is downhill.

My sister-in-law qualified for the Boston Marathon during her first marathon and won a cash prize.

She's the least likely athlete ever. I'd never seen her do anything remotely physical/athletic.

So come on guys, buck up!

MikeWaters · 08-10-2007, 09:25 PM

Here are her results:

Time: 3:30:15
Pace: 08:01

And my mom recently did a half-marathon, at the age of 64:

2:07:24

She recently started running in the past two years.

Your SIL should be proud, that's an amazing result for a first marathon. I routinely get my butt kicked by ladies, and it doesn't bother me a bit. There's a girl that runs on the parkway I run on every Saturday, and she passes me at about the same place every week.

I figure every 2-3 hour run I will get passed by 2-3 people, and I'll pass 20-25. That's good enough for me.

hey you guys would all destroy me. I wouldn't even be able to finish. The longest I have ever run in my life is 3 miles or so.

Thanks! I'm still not very fast, so I would be excited if I match Mike's Mom's pace

Well, I am sore as hell and I was having some trouble with my right hamstring cramping up a little, but I finished in 2:14:10. Not too bad considering I had never even run a continuous mile in my life until last April (I'm 27)

SteelBlue · 08-11-2007, 05:24 PM

Congrats h8r, I'm jealous of you young guys and how you can hold up to the mileage. It seems I'm constantly packed in ice.
