Has anybody else ever run one of these 13.1 miles races? I just ran the Indianapolis one and that was really hard. We ran from downtown Indianapolis, around the Indy 500 track, then back to a park downtown. Running on the streets was fun, but when you hit the track, all of the cement just makes your body feel exhausted. I went from 8.30 mile pace to 10 minute mile pace. It almost cost me meeting my goal of making it in under 2 hours. I finished in 1 hour 59 minutes 17 seconds, 89th in my age group (16 -19), and 5865 overall out of 22246. The winner finished the race in 1:03:43, it was a guy from Kenya. The first women finished in 1:11:59. So, has anyone ran a mini-marathon or even a full? Or am I the only one crazy enough to try it.

The longest race I have run is a 5,000m for charity

I came 23rd out of about 500 people.

I hate running. I have no stamina.

I just ran a race in lacrosse. I had the ball and I was racing against a defender who was trying to stop me from getting the ball behind the net. He lost I got behind the net and we swung it around and scored.

How fast did you run it in? That is how long our races our for Cross Country, its called a 5K. It is equal 3.125 miles for those of you who dont know how far that is.

I have pretty good stamina, but I don't ahve the willpower to do it. I'd flake out halfway, if I even decided to do it.
