Holy Cow, every inch of my body is screaming. I’m not sure how I’m going to make it 26.2 miles all at once, but I will! I’m thinking about raising money for a good cause, but not for the reason you think. See I figure if I take other people’s money to run a marathon, I’ll have to complete it despite my body telling me this is the dumbest idea ever.
I have a co-worker who’s 7 inches shorter than me and has 7 years on me. Last year she ran the Honolulu marathon in 4 hours and 40 minutes. Rest assured, that will not be me. My goal is to cross the finish line in 6 hours and 29 minutes (that’s just under a 15 minute mile) and then to have someone else carry me the 20 feet to first aid.
AND you can do it, too! I am rooting for you all the way!!
By the way, I was diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis but the good news is that with some work I will be able to run again. Maybe even run with you in your 2nd marathon. WOOYOO; say YEA!
Love you, Dad
my highest weeks are 20 miles, but doesn’t happen often.
you are encouraging me, however, I still think my favorite length of race is 5k
keep going,
mom
Yay for Märia!!!! You go girl. The girls and I will be cheering for you along on the side lines. You know you are making me look like a complete loser don’t you? Jason has never said these words but I’m sure he thinks them…. “Steven gets to run with his wife, why can’t I?”
Honestly, I think you are crazy but….. you go girl. 🙂
