Actually it was around the fourth of July when I agreed to run the Las Vegas Marathon. This year, two months earlier. I was talking to my friend and co-worker John about the marathon. He’s now big into fitness (which is great and it’s showing on him) so while discussing it, I mentioned I’d never do a full again but maybe a half. So he said, “Wanna sign up?”<\/p>\n
“NO!”<\/p>\n
But after many people talking me into it, including Justin, I agreed. This time around will be different. I’ll have people I know training with me; John, his wife Chris, Matthew (husband of a friend at work), Nita and Justin! I had a friend the first time but we all know how that ended-sorry Poodle. I’ll actually strength-train and cross-train this time and not be a sissy. Obviously that’s why I was so weak when I did the full. <\/p>\n
Not that I’m going for a competitive finish time, I would like my training to be easier and yet still challenging. I went into the first one weak and dumb. I’ll just go into this one dumb but stronger!<\/p>\n
So our first run is this Sunday…for 20 minutes…or so I’ve been told. But honestly, I could build up 13 miles in 28 weeks. I’ll keep everyone posted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
