I had absolutely no desire to run a marathon either--it wasn't until watching my roommate run last year that I started thinking about it, but now I'm totally psyched! Ben, want to do a 15 mile run with me while you're in NY?

I celebrated with a big brunch with all-you-can-drink bloody marys, followed by a 2 1/2 hour nap, and then had a decadent dessert at Cafe Mozart, so I'm sure I undid all the calories I burned, but it was worth it.alvinalinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04503984086482905226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21394993.post-1156825489478156532006-08-29T00:24:00.000-04:002006-08-29T00:24:00.000-04:00That is AWESOME and you rock!

I probably should deal with the whole exercise-induced asthma thing first, but there's always inhalers for that.

Fun to read the description of the event and your progress through the course.<BR/><BR/>The only remotely similar thing that I have done is participate in the roller blading marathon in Duluth, Minnesota. We were cheered on by locals in lawn chairs ringing cow bells. I finished (which was an accomplishment for me) but so far towards the end that the local emergency crew kept asking if we (my cousin and I) were okay.<BR/><BR/>Kudos to you and Rose!<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/>KTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21394993.post-1156773936502645682006-08-28T10:05:00.000-04:002006-08-28T10:05:00.000-04:00WOW!
