NY Brooklyn Half Marathon

Okay, so this is like a little bug burrowing it's way into my head, because every time I run, I think about this. Who am I kidding, I am training for this.

I looked up last years course map (http://www.nyrr.org/races/2008/pdf/bklyn_half_map.pdf) and it makes me laugh. Start out by running on the Boardwalk, and up Ocean Parkway. Really? Do you know how comfortable I would be? Maybe I shouldn't say that. But do you know how comforting it would be to start a race there? It's HOME!



Oh, and also I'm an idiot and can't do time related math. After looking at the race results from 2008, my "goal" time would be 02:11:00, (10 minute mile aka 6 miles per hour) NOT 01:30:00 (which would a 6:52 minute mile...)
