Remember our 62 year old first time marathoner from past posts? Now we have his latest update as he counts down to October 7th! This is a great live your dreams story!
The title of the book is, "Marathon, You Can Do It!" I read it and believed it!
Some of you know I started this over 5 months ago. None of you have heard from me for a long time. But in the dark of the early mornings, in the glare of the sun, wind and rain the training went on. The long runs got longer until I did the 23 miler with my daughter a few weeks ago. She completed the run... BUT, I found the wall at 21 1/2 miles!! I completed it only by walking! That is an experience one can only appreciate if it's happened to them.
On Saturday, the 15th, our training program called for a 26 miler! As I got ready the night before there was the BIG question..... Could I get by 21 1/2 miles? A restless night to say the least but by 5 AM it was settled. Face the beast and believe what the book said... "YOU CAN DO IT!"
Somewhere after 5 hr. 30 min. the distance of 26.26 miles [42.26km] was history! Remember this is just a training run. The race is on the 7th of Oct. So now it's just stay injury free till then.
Oh! Did I mention that I received a bronze and a silver for my effort? Well first I found the penny, then the quarter!! Twenty-six cents!! How strange is that?! By the way, the book didn't say anything about the penny a mile stuff.
Thanks for your emails and support.
The Marathoner.
With great love, Suzanne
