So there's this thing called the Flying Pig...

...and I really want to run it. Only problem is that it's 26.2 miles long. That's right. It's a marathon. (But it has a sweet sounding name, no?)
So I ran for almost an hour and a half today and covered 6.84 miles. 8-12 min miles. (You have to run at least 16 min miles not to kicked off the Flying Pig trail, which I think equals out to about 7 hours.) It wasn't bad actually. I've found in the last couple days (Saturday I ran 5 miles) that after I get past 3 miles it gets a lot easier. I'm also a lot faster if I let myself walk a few hundred yards when I start bouncing up and down more than actually running.

So the wishful layout goes something like this:
August 16: 5K
September 6: 5K
September 28: Half marathon
October 30: 5K
November 26: 10K
December 5: 5 K
Spring: Sprint Triathalon
May 10: Flying Pig Marathon

I need to mix in some more 10Ks and half marathons but I have to find them first!
