Army Ten Miler

Yep, I signed up for the 2010 Army Ten Miler.  I must be crazy.  But I did sign up.  One of my buddies (Joe Harris) asked if I wanted to run it with him.  Now all I have to do is train up for it.  Fortunately I have six months to do it. 

I was just amazed I was able to sign up.  There were 30000 entrants.  And when I went to sign up online 19000 people had already signed up.  For any of you who did not get to sign up because I did, I am sorry. 

I have already got in about two and a half weeks of training.  And this is starting from zero.  So far my longest run is about 3 miles at a 10 minute pace.  I figure I don't have to get too much faster, I just need to extend the distance.

If there is anyone out there who would like to start running, let me know.  I would me more than willing to help.
