One of the crimes of distance running is that they call a half marathon 'half'. When you're really pushing yourself over those last 2 or 3 miles in a half marathon, there's nothing 'half' way about it. I think they should call the Marathon a double something and make the half the full.
But then again, I'm really not built to run marathons at all - perhaps we could make the argument that nobody is, but that's for another blog.
this blog's Raison d'ĂȘtre is to chronicle my various running exploits. It's a chance for me to interact with other runners and particularly with my coach and family (those who care about the details). Mostly it's an opportunity for me to capture some sketches of the experiences that I have during my runs.
Following the successful (nobody read it but we both finished) - Road to the 2009 NYC marathon - this is planned to be something of a longer term project. perhaps lasting for a couple of years or more (who knows!?).
As you may have captured by now, I'm something of a middle distance runner, but the real point for me is to stay fit and active and maintain my fitness and energy level to be around longer and better enjoy my young family.
