Serious concentration at mile 7!

Crossing the finish line - 13.1 miles after 3 hours and 28 minutes!

Mercedes Half Marathon - February 13, 2011

Hi friends!

I need your support....I am "wogging" (walking/jogging) the half marathon on Sunday, February 13th and since I have NEVER done this before, I think it would be beneficial for me to have a "cheering" section at the halfway point...I figure that is where I will hit the wall :)

I am not fast so don't laugh...but I "wog" a 15 minute mile...if I stay true to this pace I should be in Southside by 8:45am-ish...the easiest place to be is on the corner where Louie Louie's use to be (good southern directions)...

We start at 7:03am...but there are thousands of people running so the time could be off by 10-15 minutes...

Here is a link for a map of the course...I am only doing the 13.1 miles...other crazy people will run the course two times for 26.2 miles!  http://bimrace.com/ba/race/race_map.php?race=19  pay no attention to the date on top of the map...it is from last year :)   Feel free to be at any point along the course!  All of the runners/walkers need support and it is a great boost to have people cheering you on...even if you don't know them!

Hope to see you there!

Much love!
MJ
