Well, only one person will get the title of this...but we will be laughing on the inside while the thousands (and yes, I mean thousands) of other people that read this blog scratch thier heads. :)
ok...so its not much, but watchin my good friend Darrin run the St. Jude Marathon was pretty uplifting and motivating. Tonight marked the first time in my short 31 years that I have run a full hour. I figure at the pace I was running I did about 6.5 miles. Not a huge accomplishment but a good one for me. No it wasn't done on a mountain side or even outside for that matter (as my good buddy John likes to point out.) It was done on a track in the confines of the Prarie Life Gym. As John pointed out...i would need to do that twice to accomplish a half marathon and 4 times for a full...pretty easy math eh. I felt pretty good and could have probably done a few more miles but didnt want to push...I will tell you that it really puts in perspective the dedication it takes to run a full marathon. Any man or woman that does it, does earn my respect. My first half is planning on being the Germantown Half in April...or the Nashville Half. Hopefully my ankle and the rest of my joints hold up. I will say it is a great stress reliever. With work and other things occupying my mind, it is amazing how quick it goes by when you are able to do some good thinking while running. Granted...I didn't solve any of the worlds problems, but it did pass the time. Anyway...Dad had a job interview tonight in Indianapolis, I heard it went well. Say a prayer for him that he gets this job. If anybody deserves it...it is him. More later...Peace out.
