I'M GOING TO ATTEMPT A MARATHON NEXT WEEKEND. HOW FAR WILL I GET?

Okay, here is the thing. Next Saturday, the 15th of April, 2006, I will be attempting to run a full 26 mile marathon here in Tallil, Iraq, that is to correspond with the Boston Marathon.

I have been doing some running, but usually 2 to 4 miles of hard running at 8 to 12 mph, not the light 6 to 8 mph I'll need to do to maintain distance that far.

I did a 10K on St Patricks day and finished 9th out of like 150 runners, in a time of 38:30 or so.

I am not ready for this but I'm going for it anyway, what the hell, you only live once. Just how far do you think I'll get?

1 mile
2 miles
3 miles
4 miles
5 miles
6 miles
7 miles
8 miles
9 miles
10 miles
11 miles
12 miles
13 miles

I DID IT!! I finished, I was running 8 minute splits till the 19 mile marker and then it was like a ton of bricks fell on my head. The rest was a slower paced run, then at 22 I cramped up so bad I fell down. After that I had to walk and run, and wow, talk about hell. I did finish it though, talk about an ass kicker!!!
