Marist Alum Mike Schab did a nice job on Sunday at the Manhattan Half Marathon. Representing the Marist Alumni Racing Team, Schabby ran 1:18:04. An excellent tuneup for the Mardi Gras Marathon in five weeks down in New Orleans.
Wait. Schab. In New Orleans. For Mardi Gras. Oh man. Imagine the possibilities. Remember, Schabby: You are there to run a race. What you do after you run a PR and qualify for Boston ... well, that's your business. You are a big boy.
Here is Schabby's race report, sent via email after the race but before his beloved J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets lost to the Indianapolis Mannings on Sunday:
How Do Pete? The half went rather well. Slow first two miles of 6:47 then 6:20. Mix of getting boxed in with the large crowd and not wanting to go out to to fast (or the fact that a gorgeous blond was roller blading next to us during those 2 miles - I know what you are thinking, Charley Williams said it was distracting as well) anyways here are the 6 mile splits: 6 Miles 36:57; 12 Miles 34:53 1:11:50; 13 Miles 5:35 1:17:25; Half 39 1:18:04 Mile 12 was also in the 5:30's. Overall - Great effort knowing that I felt awesome at the finish and that I could of gone faster...Was a good tune-up for the full in 5 weeks...
By the way ... the aforementioned Charlie Williams ran 1:28:11. Charlie is training for his first marathon, Vermont City, in May.
Nicely done, men!

Choo-choo Charlie Williams is going to be running a marathon?! Now this I have got to see.
Oh boy!
i won´t believe it till i see it/see the results.
Hopkins has still not gotten past the fact I have a better college PR in the 5K (I know you have since beaten it), but he is more than welcome to come up to Vermont with me and see it first hand. Nice race Schabby!
