See Big J, See Big J Run...

(Big J and Lil E)
Big J is running in a 1/2 marathon this Sunday, wish him luck!! He's hoping to qualify for New York. He has to come in 1:23...that's 6:20 per mile...and that's real fast. He's been fighting a bit of a chest cold this week so is nervous he might not do it. But if I know Big J, and I think I do, he'll come in with minutes to spare.

Good luck Big J, New York here he comes!

There are 3 ways to get into New York.

1. Lottery (random drawing)

2. Charity (raising money for one of a few charities)

3. Qualify (you can qualify with a half or full marathon time)

Amazing! I will NEVER run that fast, unless being chased by an axe murderer who is threatening to never let me go to target again. But, until then? I'll stay at this speed! Way to go!
