9 minutes/mile is a lot faster than I go.

Oh, I know that's not exactly marathon pace. But even slowed down, unless I walk a large portion of it, I don't have the stamina to manage much more than a couple miles, even it a sloooow jog. Stupid asthma.

I still do mostly run/walk. You might try that strategy for longer runs. I have been trying to go longer without walking, but I did the marathon on 8 minutes run/2 walk.

My asthma has gotten a lot better as an adult, but I still use my inhaler before I go for a run. That helps me a lot. Sorry to hear yours is such a bother.

I have a feeling registration for this will fill up quickly once it opens. I may combine this with a ticket to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party and make it a weekend.

Greg, if you can run a decent time for a few miles you could walk the rest and still finish within the limits.

Flying cross country for a 13K is pretty much out of the question (especially with another run two months later).
