We should form a team and do the half. It's free. Would be a fun thing to do.
Does anybody listen to his podcasts?
Good stuff.

i would love to do that, but it looks like it will be happening while i'm away :-( -sniff, sniff-
Cool- We already have a team name. Haven't heard of steverunner- will check it out.
so we just run on our own while our "friends" run somewhere else? i don't get it.
I think the intent is to build community among runners. Getting people in various cities around the world to go out and run a 1/2 at the same time. You can and should run with other's in your town. it's not necessarily meant for people to go run by themselves.
It's an event without being an event. No fees, no t-shirts, no junk, just go run.
"Think Global, Run Local?"
The World Wide Web, and the Internet have drawn people all over the world together, and dissolved barriers to communication and isolation. Runners, are by nature, social creatures who seek to share their experiences on the road, compete with each other, and establish friendships that transcend their individual beliefs, cultures and localities.
The sole purpose of the Phedippidations World Wide Half Marathon is to remove the barriers to camaraderie, with the intention that like minded athletes who harbor this passion for running, could share a single experience of competing in a world wide event.
The Phedippidations World Wide Half Marathon is a free, non-commercial event where everyone is invited to register, train and run with us in the spirit of friendship.
This unprecedented event is for runners of all abilities. New runners who are just starting out are invited to sign up, train and run a five kilometer event called "Kick the Couch 5k" with new runners all over the world who may never have thought it possible to rise off the couch and experience an active way of life.
Through this website (www.WorldWideHalf.com) you will be able to register for the event (Half Marathon or Five Kilometer races), choose and follow an online training schedule (through www.BuckeyeOutdoors.com) and run your choice of an official road race, or your own personally organized event on or about the weekend of October 13th and 14th.
As you participate, you will feel that you are part of a community of friends all over the globe, who will support you, encourage you, and are sharing this experience with you as you run your event locally.
Join us in this exciting and real global event. We look forward for you to share your piece of the world.
The Phedippidations World Wide Half Marathon (13.1 miles / 21.1 Kilometers) and Kick the Couch 5k Race ( 3.1 miles).
