On the way down to the first floor she asks me if I’ll be running the half marathon this weekend.  I respond with a, “No.”  Quite frankly, I haven’t been able to do long runs more than 10 miles.

“But it’s only three more miles,” she says.  It’s like I’m listening to a fitter version of myself coaxing me on.

It’s probably safe to say that I won’t be doing the full marathon in February.  There is where I usually delete the blog only to return and start over at a later point, but this time I’ll leave it up.  I should get around to re-import blog entries from prior races that I’ve done; it’s on my to-do list.
