Personal Bragging: My 50th Half-Marathon

Last Saturday's race (in 42 degree temps in the rain, I might add) was my 50th half-marathon since I started my hobby in June of 2009.

My vital statistics are:

Completed races in 12 states so far (AK, HI, CA, NV, UT, WY, CO, TX, LA, FL, OH, and WI)

Median pace = 10:15 per mile
Median pace in flat, sea level races =9:37 per mile
Fastest pace = 9:04 per mile (Beaumont, TX - flat and sea level)
Slowest pace = 29:36 per mile (Pike's Peak Ascent - 7,800 foot climb from 6,300 ft to 14,100 ft and I was not good at it.)

14 have been at elevations between sea level and 3,000 feet (Median pace = 9:52)
21 have been at elevations of 3,000 to 6,000 feet (Median pace = 10:06)
9 have been at elevations of 6,000 to 9,000 feet (Median pace = 11:08)
9 have been at elevations of 9,000 feet or higher (Median pace = 15:29)

26 have been more or less flat with total hills < 300 ft (Median pace = 9:50). Three were net downhill.
12 have had moderate hills with total hills of 301-1,000 ft (Median pace = 10:43)
6 have had strong hills with total hills of 1,001-2,500 ft (Median pace = 12:10)
9 have had major hills with total hills of 2,500 ft or more (Median pace = 15:29)

The 9 with major hills are the same 9 that were over 9,000 feet in elevation.

3 races were run in the rain and 1 in snow.

I've only fallen once, and it wasn't in the rain or snow. (Tripped on a trail rock.)

24 were primarily on pavement or asphalt
6 were primarily on dirt roads
20 were primarily on trails

I've gone the wrong way on trails 4 times but only twice did it for more than 30 seconds. The worst mistake added 3/4 of a mile.

I've also had 2 10-mile races and a 10K in there, so that's 53 races in 54 months.

Very cool. My niece finished her 50 under 50 this fall. 50 full marathons under 50 years old.

geeze, you runners...blows my mind.

wife has ran all her life(mostly from me). I have no idea how many halfs she's ran. ran her first full marathon the day she turned 50. I figured she'd do it, then hurt so bad she'd quit and shut the **** up about it. nope.

she's ran 6 this year and qualified for boston in april, so we're going that.

actually, I usually have a pretty good time going w/her and watching everyone run. I think Chicago has been my favorite so far. pretty awesome watching and hearing everyone cheer the runners on. all makes and models of runners...pretty cool.

as for this old fat man...piss on that. I walk 5.5 miles a day, 6 days a week and really don't care to do it. sure, I feel better after, except for my feet, ankles, knees and chaffed taint, but that's over an hour and a half of my life that could be used for getting numb.

congrats to you, rain man...does your wife run with you, or go to your races?

Not to brag but I used to be one of those "fast"er guys. But it comes at a cost. I was always good for a 18 flat 5k or a 1:30 half up to the day I heard that MCL pop. When they went in they found almost no cartilage left as well. Overuse. I think the body only has so many miles in it.

Been almost 8 years and I still miss running. Nothing like it.

If you want to do a full marathon maybe you can do the KC marathon and a Chiefs game the same weekend? I bet plenty of CPers would turn out along the route to cheer you on....

That's awesome! I've probably done 15 or so HMs. I have two overall goals for next year: my first full, and to run the Vail HM. I'm signed up for the 39.3 series again (a series of 3 local half marathons in 6 weeks) and Hospital Hill before that, so I *should* be in decent shape for it.

I started running a few years ago with a local 5K and gradually progressed to half marathons. My fastest 5K is 20:46, but I'd really like to break 20 minutes. My fastest half is 1:41. I'd like to break 1:40, but at 41/42 years old, I'm not sure I'm going to get much faster at either distance.

It's either a marathon or it's not. that's like saying you're "almost pregnant" or you're going to "dig half a hole"

If he was wearing some Bronco gear I can understand his fast pace...

my wife ran one in st. Louis a couple years ago. I was walking w/her throught the registration deal the day before the race. we were going through the lines where she picked up her race packet and shit and some gal put a yellow snap on bracelet on her and then reached out to put one on me:

me: "what's this for?"
her: "beer tent at the finish line."

cool! so I let her put it on me and the next day i'm walking around the finish line, waiting for the wife to come through and figure, what the hell...i'll go grab one of those free beers. they're up there popping tabs just as fast as they can, while all these sweaty runners are grabbing and chugging. I saunter up in my sweat shirt and cargo shorts and pick one up:

beer bitch: "that's $3."
me: "what for?"
beer bitch: "for the beer."
me: "I've got a bracelet."
beer bitch: "you sayin you ran the marathon?"
me: "i'm sayin I've got the ****in bracelet."
beer bitch: "and i'm sayin that beer's $3."

well, I've got enough pride that I went ahead and chucked $3 at her and sulked off, sipping on that shitty beer.

still pisses me off.
