I know marathon training is killing me, but then again, you 1) run like the wind, 2) are like 18 or something and recover from runs in an hour or two, and 3) you are not encumbered by excessive family obligations, with the exception of a very lonely husband who will miss you terribly while you are out running.<BR/><BR/>I say make your plea for the registration, if you Jon (was) in Michiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17457505077183982152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7230383.post-1127517596193078792005-09-23T18:19:00.000-05:002005-09-23T18:19:00.000-05:00I'd say don't do the marathon.

Your race times and training indicate that you are a strong runner, physically and mentally. I have gone into marathons before with less than stellar training, and been able to finish. Depending on what your goal is (qualifying for Boston at the high end, or finishing under 5 hours at the low end), I think that you have a great chance atBuckeyeRunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16375077439519438301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7230383.post-1127437078865402682005-09-22T19:57:00.000-05:002005-09-22T19:57:00.000-05:00Hey there David, I did part of the St. Pete route,...Hey there David, I did part of the St. Pete route, which was gorgeous. I printed out the route, but forgot to bring it w/ me on the run. So that's why I say I ran "part" of it - when I forgot where it meandered, I ran through the Old Northeast neighborhood, then down to Poynter and back on the bay.<BR/><BR/>As far as running 12-16 miles .... ack. I could perhaps do 12 this weekend, though I'm Rheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354343772757799928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7230383.post-1127433772805558512005-09-22T19:02:00.000-05:002005-09-22T19:02:00.000-05:00Hmmmm.

Are you ready to kick it up? Have you done one before? Are you ready for the training challenge? Will work allow it? Will homemaking allow it?<BR/><BR/>Did you try my St. Pete route or not have time to go bayside?Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11692284050637212115noreply@blogger.com
