See Told Ya!

Big J ran the half marathon in 1 hour 2o minutes and 2 seconds! See...minutes to spare! His pace was 6:06 per mile for 13.1 miles. He came in 12th place over all, 4500 people were in the race. 2nd place in his age group. He qualified for New York City!!! So next year, we're packing out bags and headed to one of the largest marathons ever! It's going to be great! While he's running I'm gonna shop my ass off...I mean be supportive and cheer him on. He's doing his signature peace sign...weirdo. And yes he's sportin' his other signature mohawk that he wears for his longer races. Eh, must work for him he got 12th place. Whatever works right?

So proud of you Big J! XOXOX!

HOLY SMOKES - that is FAST! When I run these things my goal is to, ummmm, finish. That is just awesome!

Does he get sponsors or do you guys have to pay for all the reg. fees and travel expenses? They add up so high it's hard to do many runs without the $$.

Will he be running the St George or Flagstaff 1/2?
