Common Marathon Questions...
There are several things I hear a lot of when I’ve told people I run marathons. Such things as “I could never do that.” “Are you crazy??” “Really?” “Do you just start out running 10-26 miles???”

Running Blog Part Three: Move Along

Ok sorry it took forever to post this. Been doing a lot of stuff actually.  Working on my thank  video to my donors for SF.  This really encompasses my entire reason for running.  Listen closley, and pay attention! =o)

My running will always be important to me, it’s the moment I feel the most free and able to do anything.  I know I am not the fastest runner, but I run. For me.  Next year I am going to attempt something quasi extreme.  2 marathon in roughly 27 days. I’ve decided to do Rock and Roll SD and Rock and Roll Seattle.  SD is May 31st Seattle is June 27th I realize I may not be able to fully run the second one but that’s ok.  I’m going to try to.  You can’t accomplish anything unless you put yourself out there.  So  I am, step over step, mile after mile.  It’s the only way to right?

I also want to do the NYC marathon.  Got to watch that for the first time as a runner and I realized how much I really want to do one here.  One at my old home and one in my new home.  I entered the lottery this year but got rejected however if you get rejected three years in a row they let you in the fourth year.   So this will be attempt number two. =o)  We’ll see what happens, for now I’m laying low and about to get back into some running, light small runs.  I’m getting ansy so I need to move along.
