A Contest

So Sunday I will be running my first full marathon in Little Rock. I thought it would be fun to do a little give-away. I'm offering a $10 gift card to Panera to the person who guesses my finish time, Price is Right rules (closest without going over). To give you an idea of my potential time, my personal record for the half marathon is 2 hours 44 minutes. I finished my 20-mile run in 4 hours 50 minutes. I expect to finish between 6 and 6.5 hours, but it could be later depending on how things go. Entries must be submitted by 6:00am Sunday (start time). Encouraging thoughts appreciated.

So I'm sure you've heard the saying that goes something like . . . even if you just walk, you're still lapping the people that just sit on the sidelines and watch . . . yeah, that would be me you're lapping!! You GO GIRL - I wish I had even an ounce of your determination!! I would guess 5 hours 50 minutes!

I think you will surprise yourself. 5 hours and 57 minutes. Just remember the little chant we used to do with the left/right. L, R, L, R, L - I left my wife with 48 children...
