My philosophy of running

I have this strange relationship with my running partner, Ben. As we do our morning runs (8 miles), I incessantly complain about how tiring the pace is (well, it is to me), argue about how many hills we are doing (it's becoming a monotonically increasing number), and question why we are even running (actually I do want to run).

Ben just laughs and reminds me that I am constantly the one who is suggesting that we do this or that. Like how right after we did a 10km competition, at the finishing line as I am panting and cussing, I add, "So we do a half marathon next?".

Take that Sub 2H half marathon!

2008 Santa Cruz Half Marathon (13.1 miles or 21.097 km)

Chip Time - 1:50:36.5. Gun Time - 1:50:57.2. Pace - 8:27/M

That was tougher than I thought, but it felt good. Not sure if I can find the time to train for the next one though. ya know, things to do, places to be...
