The McDonald's Maymont X-Country Half Marathon will commence in 43 days. Here are some interesting ways to look at the half marathon.
1 Half Marathon =
83,0016 inches
52.70612 laps around a 400 meter track
21.0825 kilometers
0.003294 the length of the Great Wall of China
0.00655 the length of the Oregon Trail
11,857.37 giraffes' necks
702,748.5 American cockroaches laid end to end
9,765 Shaquille O’Neals laid end to end
After I finish my long run tomorrow, I will likely weigh the same as:
0.33 of a baby grand piano
0.0144 of an African elephant
440,806.045 cubic inches of air at sea level
40 chickens
467 hockey pucks
During tomorrow's long run, I'll probably lose weight equivalent to:
$3,518 in US $1 bills (That's an expensive run!)
$38.50 in US quarters
9 cans of soda

Now that'll give ya' something to think about on your run. What are your strange comparisons? Leave a comment.
Run well, y'all,

52 laps around a track. I wonder if anyone's done that before.
And 40 Chickens?! That's 4 chickens less than me.
Good luck on your half marathon. It looks like you're doing a great job with your training this year.
Thanks, Perry. I was right on target with the training until today. Oh, well.
