Why couldn't Pheidippides have died at 20 miles?
I admire runners older than I - they are now my heroes. I want to be like them as I grow older.
Running with others can help get you out when you might otherwise blow it off.
You have to forget your last marathon before you try another. Your mind can't know what's coming.
I also held several masters running titles.
Right now, after having had back surgery, I am finally back to running again.
