Half Marathon Man

Posted by Will on August 4, 2010

There is one thing I love to write about and that is running (the proof is in the pudding). I could wax poetic every week, as long as I am in some sort of state of training, which I find, I am usually within if you are going on the past few years.

I like it, I love it, I hate it, I loathe it. There are definitely feelings that range and vary in the most extreme fashions.

That being said, I have more to say about the topic.

I have finally secured, as I have mentioned before, what I will dub “The Half Marathon Marathon Week” which will run (pun intended) from October 16th thru the 24th (okay, so it’s actually one week and an additional day – sue me). During this week, I will be attempting to go 26.2 miles (and then some … with the travel and all) over the course of two days with a sizable 7 day break in the interim.

The first leg will take place in Baltimore, the second in Athens (where you go when you die if you have been good).

The hardest part has been lobbying my collegiate roommates to join in the final leg. Thus far, three-fourths have accepted the gauntlet I have laid before them. We are still working on that last fourth (with methods varying from reason to shame).

October looks like  it is going to be a month of redemption (deferring the Baltimore Half to this year) and reunion (see above).
