… I’m RUNNING A MARATHON IN MAY.
Just thought you should know. Maybe you’ll help me keep accountable to training for it. I still plan on publishing my training calendar here, but I need to figure out a proper way to do it. (Anyone with hints/suggestions, let me know.)
This is the marathon I signed up for (had to change from the Big Sur Marathon because of Choi’s stateside wedding reception):

Trail-ish, lots of redwoods… and it’s in Humboldt County, which is famous for… well, you look it up.

I expect your response to this to go something like “The fat kid is running a Marathon! Holy shit!”
True. I was fat. But things change. Oh, how things change.
No, on the contrary… my SIL can do ANYTHING he puts his mind to (or at least he has ME convinced of that)…
& by the way, no one has seen the fat kid in years. I heard a rumor that the fat kid passed away at home in NJ while surrounded by his family and friends.
As for marathons–everything is relative….i.e. at 55 running a 5 mile race which was oh so do-able 3 decades ago becomes a “marathon”.
So, as you train for yours I will be training for mine and we will both finish–the time it takes isn’t the goal–what matters is that we finish. Period. & we will–as things continue to change.
