You know, A marathon is a long way. I've been talking with other runners who are doing very crazy distances (50 milers, 6 day stage race doing 14-25 miles per day, etc.) so my little marathon has seemed very managable. Just lately I've been thinking "dang that's far". Here are a few ways to put it into perspective:
26.2 miles
138336 feet
about 4 hours or 240 min. of running
In 4 hours I can drive to Las Vegas
It's like running from my parents to Jordanelle resevoir or somewhere in Sandy.
Or from my house to Munds Park.
What am I getting myself into?

you're crazy...there's no way in hell i'd even think of doing that.
Thanks for the encouragement ;-)
I know, I remeber just a couple of years ago thinking a marathon was for crazy people and I would never do the distance. I think maybe that's what makes it so exciting is the idea that maybe I can't do it. One of the greatest motivators for me is training for a race and especially when I'm not sure if I'll even be able to cover the distance. But you're right I'm crazy.
JUSTIN.... I can't believe how quickly some of your friends disappear. I'm glad you've reappeared! That's amazing how awesome you've done at running/triathlons. How did that all come about? I hope you are doing well. Let me know when you are up here. I'd love to go stuff our faces or even better, go on a run... Later brotha!
