Who knows what I will feel like afterwards, but I must recover in time for a Neighborhood Fall Festival that we have been helpin to organize - live bluegrass, BBQ, bonfire, local brewery beer - as a fundraiser for our pool. (the 7pm end-time on the flier is not true) Locals reading this, come on out!
The marathon is also significant because (1) I have often said, I would never have the desire to do that. I had no idea. So far the worst part is the time spent training - many many weekend mornings spent just running. This in itself is good for some reasons, but it is a bit monotonous. So far the best part is that I can hit the road right now and run anywhere from 8 to 13 miles with no discomfort at all. I hope I can stay in this shape, to be able to jump out and run for an hour or 90 minutes whenever I want, and then justcarry on with the rest of the day. Its also a significant personal goal becaue (2) a year ago I was not walking.
I cannot believe that through all of this training, my foot has given me zero problem. I think this points to the importance of doing what the doc and Physical Therapists say to do. And most of all, I think this goes to show that pretty much anyone can do this, or at least something like this. It just takes the desire and training. All that said… still knock on wood. Alot can still go wrong. Feel good though.
Awesome Jason. Will be thinking if you.
