The Marathon Approaches

Well, I can’t say I’m ready for this Marathon.  I also can’t really say I’ve enjoyed the training very much.  Can I run 26.2 miles?  I’m really not sure!  Have I prepared myself fully to run 26.2 miles?  I’m not sure.  I’ve had the best running year of my life, knocking over PR’s at every race I’ve entered, in some cases by over 14 minutes.  The simple fact is I don’t wanna run for 4 1/2 hours straight.  It occurred to me that it doesn’t really matter if I can.  I run because I enjoy it, but this may be more than I bargained for.  More on that when it’s all over...I WILL TOUGH IT OUT.

I haven’t written here for awhile, as I can’t seem to buy into this whole “write about yourself” thing (I’d rather just talk about myself I’m at a Learning Conference in Orlando and everyone in sight has a blog, a wiki, a podcast, a MySpace or Facebook account, an Iphone, or something they’ve just placed on You Tube.  This town went from being the happiest place on earth to the most web-connected place on earth.  Having said that, I figured I’d drink the kool aid as well. 

I’ll be back with more in a bit.  In the meantime, I think I’ll reskin my blog.
