Half Marathon, 5k or...100 Miles across a desert?

How are you feeling about 3.2 miles or 13.1 miles?

If you think you’re training a lot now, just be glad I didn’t sign us up for this race in Australia! Please—read carefully so you don’t miss both the age of the runner, and the length of the race. Plus, Henry just told me that Cliff Young was a vegetarian!

And how about the Western States 100? Vegan Scott Jurek has won it for the past 7 years in a row. Every time I see Coach Darren’s power smoothie recipes, I think of Scott Jurek and the 100 miles from Squaw Valley to Auburn. And then I have to sit down and eat a So Delicious ‘Lil Buddy to recover from the mental trauma (just kidding, Coach!).

Are you stuck on a treadmill for a lot of your training? Here’s a great article about mixing things up for endless treadmill runs.

Remember, you *must* register for the race on February 1st if you want the timing chip, bib number and t-shirt! This is different from our PETA Pack t-shirt. You’re a member of The PETA Pack (and thank you very much), and I’m looking forward to handing out shirts in a couple of weeks. But you’re running the KP San Francisco Half Marathon, and that’s a separate entity with its own registration and t-shirts.

PARTY! I have started the RSVP list. We’re all going to gather about noon on Sunday, February 1st, after the race. We need to celebrate! We’ll announce the winners, have some food and sodas (and beer and chocolate), and put our feet up for a while. This will be the first time we get to meet many of you. Please let me know if you’re coming, and yes, please bring a guest!
