Just got the race results in from the BR Marathon. Of course, because of the injury, I completed only the half. I grabbed 6th place overall and 2nd in my age-group...not that I ever really count the age-group awards. My time was a little slower than I thought. It was actually 1:24:44. Still respectable, but not what I wanted - or of what I am capable.
The ankle is much better. I've had on a hard air cast all week, but honestly I could have come out of it yesterday. I'd just like to be certain its 100%. So I'm on the bike and in the pool for a few more days. Yesterday I knocked out about 25 miles while rocking out to The Darkness. I'll do about the same workout again today, maybe with a free-weight workout, but I'll probably be blaring Van Halen...metal, baby.
Big Dave and I are collaborating on a kind of movie trailer for this run. It may not be out for a few weeks at least, but stay tuned. It will be heavy.
On April 25th and 26th Brady Hendrix is going to attempt the ultimate physical feat. By running 100 miles in less than 24 hours, he is hoping to help Relay for Life in fighting the battle against cancer. The course follows the Natchez Trace through 50 miles of beautiful "God's Country" towards Jackson, MS. Upon reaching the 50 mile mark, Brady will turn around and finish amidst trumpets and fan fare in Natchez.

A Mile (or 100) in These Shoes...
- Brady
- I started running during the 7th grade. I was sitting in a final period study hall when Coach King came in and asked who wanted to sit in study hall and who wanted to go run for the track team. I had no desire to run at all...but a girl I had a crush on got up to be on the team. I've been running ever since.
