My website has a lot of new content so check it out if you haven't seen it lately. www.lauraburtontools.com

Also, I will be participating in a Holiday Bazaar with many other consultants from other companies. It will be a great one-stop-shop thing for the holidays. It's on November 18th from 9-2 at the First Baptist Church on Cherry Street downtown. (Thanks Michelle and Linda.) I'll remind you all again later as no one reads this blog.

The nightmare that is the half marathon is over. At least it wasn't a nightmare for Jamie. He reached his goal. He did a great job and kept a great pace. Here are his results:



displaying: 1 - 1 of 1
NO FN LN OVERALL DIVPL SEXPL TIME PACE 5K_TIME 10K_TIME 15K_TIME CHIP_TIME
950 James Newcomb 184 18/83 160/706 1:43:47 7:53 25:25 49:25 1:13:00 1:43:05

It was a nightmare for me. I learned nothing from all the hard training. I know my style is to start the first mile slowly and then hit my pace. But no, I had to start too fast and it was on hills. I blew it. I was tired right away and never recovered. I had to stop and walk too many times to count. I was miserable. I couldn't get my mind wrapped around it either. I kept thinking I was farther along than I was. Then I would get disappointed/defeated. And don't tell me I did a good job just for finishing. I didn't do a good job. I had a goal and a plan and I blew it. I really wanted to break at least 2:10. I thought I could. I blew it. Here were my crappy results:

I'm really proud of Jamie, though. The fact that he did so well makes it worth it. Good job, James. And thank you for training me all those weeks.

I guess I'll stick with 5K's for awhile. There's one Thanksgiving morning if anyone wants to join us.

This Sunday the 8th is the big day for Jamie and me. We are running in the half marathon. If any of you want to cheer us on at some point(s) along the course I'll give you a basic summary and a link to the course.

We start on Reitz hill (8am) and work our way to Barker. We'll go north on Barker to Franklin to Harmony Way. Then we'll run along the south side of Golfmoor Park (around 8:20am) and east along Maryland and farther east along some other street, not sure what it is by their map. Then north along Fulton to Ulhorn and through Garvin Park (8:50am) on the Pigeon Greenway and by Bosse Field (9am). Then we go south on Main Street to Vine, another street to 3rd Street (9:20am). I get confused about the downtown parts but we work our way over to Bayard Park (9:35am) and Kentucky and Washington to Akin Park (9:45am), back to Washington to Riverside Dr. all the way to back to downtown. The map looks like we finish near Aztar.

The race starts at 8am. I think Jamie will finish around 9:45. I'll finish around 10am. I'm hoping to break 2 hours but there's a good chance it will be about 10 minutes past the 2 hour mark. I usually run about 6 mph.

The info on the race is at www.evansvillehalfmarathon.org.
