Did I trick you?? If you know me, probably not...marathons scare me. I'm not a lover or hater of marathons or the seemingly increasing number of marathon participants. In fact, I have admiration for the amount of devotion and drive it takes to train for a marathon and well, complete one. What I am sick of is hearing about said devotion and training - I don't know if this is driven my sheer jealousy that the mere thought of running 26 miles makes me turn red, cramp up and hyperventilate yet these people practice by running more miles than I've ever attempted or if its just plain old boredom from hearing Betsy ran 5 miles this morning or Petey is headed to the gym to run 6...bravo, pat pat, good job...keep running, so I don't have to, in fact, run so often you don't have time to facebook about how often you run. Okay, there's definitely a little jealousy...I've never been a runner, I've tried too - I just don't see how anyone finds it fun. But to those of you that do - good luck today!
I'll leave you with a conversation I overheard the other day, two people were talking about the Chicago Marathon this weekend:
Girl: I mean, that's so bad for you, marathons, it's really bad for your heart.
Guy: Yeah, that's why I don't run them.
Who here truly believe that's the reason this guy doesn't run the marathon? Probably about as many people that believed I was :)
Go Bears!!
really? I never thought you would be actually running this marathon. However, I do want to let you know that I'm getting ready for a 12 mile run. Baci!
