Mr Forgetful...

I have a race this weekend, oops! I am off to run the Xterra Boney Mountain 21K (I have no idea why they don't call it a Half Marathon?), anyway, I ran it last year and it's a real doozy! Nearly 4000' feet of climbing, forecast is for warm temps high 60s low 70s.

Plan: sub 2:30, idealy around the 2:17 mark, that will be a minute a mile faster than 2007. Fingers crossed; I nailed Castro Peak and down, (14 miles) which is a higher climb 2200' over 2.5 miles vs. 1250' over 5 miles, in 2:32 last weekend so I should be in pretty good shape!

Talking of plans my Napkin (well, ruled pad) is firming up, I should be confirming it early next week, thanks for all you kind support.

    good luck, Stuart!

    btw, i think "21k" sounds more bad-ass than "half-marathon". and its probably difficult to accurately measure a trail race, right?

    kick some butt out there!

    Happy New Year Stuart. Looks like a nice race with good temps. I gotta do that too, at least you have something written down. I'll know better once I know whether or not I got in to Miwok or not. I don't care one way or the other but it will make planning easier. Good luck on the schedule.
