Week 1 of 7

As I take I-275 southbound into downtown Tampa, there’s a billboard that stands to the right advertising the next race. Among the races they offer, this will be their last full marathon. Having lived in the area nine of the ten years this marathon has been active, I have never completed it. An allure draws me to sign-up and run the final one.

Since my attempt last year of running a second marathon (Miami) a few months after the first (NYC) did not prove successful, I will under-prepare for this upcoming one.
