lol. i'm terrible at running. its something i need to focus on, but i'd much rather row then run. i can do the fat boy jog to a 9 minute mile. dont know if i could keep that pace for 3 though.

Man, there are going to be a lot of people that fit that description! haha! You're gonna have to wear the Elvis chops, curl your lip or something!

I think anything under 40min is good for a first race if you've never been a runner. Are you running a full 3.1 miles yet? What do your training times look like? I've seen some guys run hard, walk, run hard, walk and put down a decent time.

just see what your first time is and then set your goal by a couple of minutes at a time. It will keep you more motivated to go do your runs when you dont feel like it and especially in the whataburger drive thru. I put my runner tags on my wall with times written on them so I can see them and remind me of my goal.

You can do it, Bro! My wife and I are running it for fun, not so much time, so haler if you want us to start with you. Didn't know if you're running it alone or what.
