That alone will give me material for 9 jokes next time we chat. The closest I ever was to running a marathon was in Brooklyn, NY. My brother was running in the NY Marathon ('06), and I was cheering him on as he ran by during mile 7. The energy was high, the music from surrounding apartments was blasting, and screams of encouragement from spectators motivated me .... so, I did what so many people were probably thinking but too nervous to act on - I flew onto the street in my jeans and and sweatshirt, caught up to him, and started running by his side. I made it two (maybe 3) blocks before being asked to pull off (according to some policeman, you need to 'register.' ... Details, details). On a more serious note, I think it's great you're doing this. Are you still checking your routine e-mail when you have time? Hey Cands, did I read your blog correctly – you were once a ‘long’ jumper?

I am so impressed with your progress and I admire your tenacity - I know exactly where it comes from! Being somewhat limited, especially in the technology sphere, this is my first time "blogging" - pretty cool huh? Keep it up, the boys, Mark and Gareth will be on the side of the road with me to cheer you on June 15 Super reading of your running adventures.

Also something to remind yourself why you are running and to be privileged to be happy and healthy and fit enough to go the distance. Well done and enjoy!
