I Have A Run ....
I have a run to tell you about! No, it wasn't a virtual or a dream run with an all-time lineup of Tergat, Rodgers, Shorter, Waitz, Samuelson and Radcliffe.
It wasn't a Run with the Saints or a Run with Ghosts either! Although it did include passing a number of churches and a stop at a local cemetery. :)
And the timing and length of the run certainly wasn't in any training manual that you'd find from Hal Higdon, Jeff Galloway, Dick Beardsley or even John "The Penguin" Bingham.
However, it was a run literally of blood, sweat and tears - and not one drop from any pain.
It was a run that evoked lots of memories. It was one that I'm glad that I got in and it will be one that I'll carry with me in less than 48 hours as I make my way across the Verrazano Narrows Bridge!
Check back in late Friday night or sometime Saturday for the link to my web site as I'll need a separate web page to process the details from this morning's run through the streets of Tyrone, Pennsylvania - my hometown!
And in case I forget tonight or tomorrow, I want to thank each and every one of you who come here and read this blog. As I run on Sunday, I know that there will be Striders, Bloggers, 7 Hills members and many, many others that will be interested in my outcome and the stories that come along with it! Thank you for your well-wishes and prayers as I venture out to do the one marathon that I said, "If I was going to do one, it might as well be the biggest one there is!"
