Comrades & Boston
Pamplona. A friend of my brothers has run this and has him convinced to do it. As craziness runs in our family (we're all carriers) I must now run it with him.

Here are my top five “bucket-list” races…
Indy Mini Marathon…because you run one lap of Indy Speedway
USAF Half Marathon---because I was in the USAF for 21 years
Detroit Half Marathon…because you actually go into Canada and then run one mile under water (thru a tunnel under a river).
National Half Marathon…runs thru Washington DC by the monuments
Boston’s Run To Remember…half marathon thru Boston (where I am originally from)
There are other races that I want to do (I would like to complete a half in all 50 states).

running/weight goals for 2009…
1) Get to 200 lbs by the end of April…and stay there
2) Get below 20% body fat (currently at 25%)
3) Break 25 minutes in a 5k (current PR 26:03)
4) Break two hours in a half marathon (current PR 2:05:09)
5) Run 1,300 miles for the year |

Adding one here, that I just heard about yesterday thanks to local new coverage.
The Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers 5K, which retraces the route FDNY firefighter Stephen Siller ran on 9/11 from near the Brooklyn entrance to the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, to the Twin Towers, in full turnout gear.
15,000 runners this morning... next year I'd like to be one of them. |

I'd love to do the Austin HM one day, since it's my hometown, but I'd have to train in warmer weather!
