*Raises hand* Volunteer's for next years....i really really want to seriously the medals looked awesome and just the thrill of actually doing something like that and finishing and participating in it just makes me want to get out there and succeed. What did you do to train? Loved the pictures.

It's Labor Day weekend again in 2009. Um you'll have to ask Swanie about the training - I just showed up.

Kidding - there are a number of training programs for a half marathon. I just kept getting hurt. Some real training would have been beneficial.

Thought it would be Labor Day Weekend 2009. Shouldn't be a problem with the date at all. OK i will ask Swanie about the training.

We finished in roughly 3:32:00 and 3:38:00. If I had to guess the sweepers would have been clearing the roads at 4:00:00. It was based on 3:30:00 after the last person in the last corral and wave crossed the starting line. With 13,500 people, it takes a while for everyone to move past the starting sensors. Also, we settled in with the walkers, but the runners were doing it in sub 3:00:00 times. Don't even ask how fast the winners ran the race! They were finishing their 13.1 miles at my 6.2 mile pace!

I'm gonna do the AIDS Walk L.A. on October 19 - as part of NBC Universal team.

I oughtta be ok for this, I walk a mile every day from my last bus stop to the front door.

So, we could walk it if we wanted to? I walked only a short way today and I think the heat messed with me. The Hubster is sooo hip to do this, to train with me. He'll do anything to bust my butt.

Matt, how far is that aids walk?

AIDS Walk L.A. is 6.2 miles.
