OK... So I agreed to run this marathon because of the encouragement and support of some great friends. The idea of running a marathon is quite idiotic upon reflection, however running and puking together with some of your friends over great distances can create a strong bond for life. So in a weird, perverse way, I'm actually looking forward to this.

Realize first that I really hate to run. I'm used to doing something while I run like basketball, football or chasing my 2 year old son while laughing my friggin' head off. So I've decided to psyche myself into believing that running is enjoyable...

So please check out my training historyhere and I'll try to include some thoughts upon my psychological conversion.

Also be sure to check out my kid stories. I'll try to add some fun ones for you guys to keep you entertained.
