MotionBased Activity from statute guest: 2007 Bizz Johnson Marathon

If only I could have run a bit faster in the last few miles, I'd be booking my trip to Boston right now. Instead, I'm trying to help my legs recover so I try for 3:10 again in a few months. I guess the good thing is that I have motivation to keep training consistently. And I feel that even though my HR was much higher (176BPM vs 171BPM average) than Honolulu, my body is in much better shape after this race. I was able to run 2 miles on Monday and almost all limping had subsided by Tuesday.

8th overall, 3rd in 25-29M age group.

Countdown to the Bizz

I’m running the Bizz Johnson Marathon this weekend. I’ve been training for the race since June but didn’t bother to sign up early so I ended up having to pay the exorbitant $225 race fee for signing up after it was already sold out (I know, I know). I was able to lessen the initial shock by making a deal with the race director.

Firstly, I recognize that the $225.00 is a crazy; It for the cry babies that want in at any cost – not you...But the race is sold out. You can pay a $150 penalty fee for a total of $225 for waiting. There are no transfers and ID’s are checked at bib distribution. We take into account the runners will drop out when we calculate the total numbers of spots. Win the race overall or break 2:49 and I will return $150 of the $225.00 entry fee. Eric Gould

It’s looking like 2:49 is out of the question and winning the entire race doesn’t look too good either since there will be hundreds more people this year than any other year. But I do think I have a good chance at qualifying for Boston (3:10:59 or less). Thanks to all that have run with me or encouraged me. I owe a special thanks to Megan for having to put up with my sometimes inconvenient running scheduleJ
