four thirds
so a quick search on google tells me that the circumference of the earth at the equator is 24,901.5 miles. dividing my odometer mileage by 24,901.5 nets me 1.33 and change. funny how nonsense like this keeps me motivated, eh?
since i’m on a bit of an analytical mindset at the moment, it’s significant to note that the warm winter and a locker room at work have contributed to allowing me to post a solid start for the year. in fact, only three years in the past twenty two have i rolled more miles to date than i’ve got so far this year. during those years i was either prepping for the Boston Marathon or the Ice Age Trail 50 Miler, both of which needed plenty of training miles.
coming up, it looks as though i’ll be running the Trailbreaker this coming weekend. i’ve finished the Trailbreaker Marathon four times before (2000, 2004, 2005 & 2006) so another finish would put me half way to the “Ten Towers” club. (you get a special t-shirt when you’re got ten finishes)
my top two half marathon times have also been earned on the Trailbreaker Half Marathon course where i’ve finished the half seven times. if the weather is decent, i’ll run the marathon (for fun). otherwise, i’ll opt for the half marathon if the weather is lousy. honestly, it’s awesome to have the option to choose with race day registration.
