I Thought I Was Cured
Apparently not. Back in 2005 I decided it would be a good idea to run a marathon. In October of that year, I did indeed pull it off and finished all 26+ miles of the Portland Marathon. Afterwards, I said to myself, "self, we're never going to do that I again. I must´ve been insane when I decided to do it." At some point down here, I guess I lost my mind again and thought maybe another marathon would be a good time.
I had a specific marathon in mind and I started my training program in March (I´d been running pretty consistently since January, but not following any kind of plan). I was kind of taking a wait and see approach at this point, however, as I didn´t actually sign up for the marathon. That way, I could back out if things weren´t going all that well. As it turned out, I stuck with the training pretty well and decided recently to actually sign up and put myself at the point of no return. I had been targeting the Seafair Marathon in Bellevue, WA and I am now all signed up and ready to go for the race which is held Sunday, July 8th. If anyone wants to come out and see one of the greatest spectator sports on earth, this is a prime opportunity. But If you have more important things to do, I´ll understand. Later.

My 2 excuses for never running 26.2mi:
1. Pheidippides
2. Jim Fixx
Jimmy - I'd say that's very suspect reasoning.
Glad to know you'll be home! Maybe I'll do the 1/2...well, maybe I'll just come watch you. we'll see.
