Marathon-athon


What started as a fun summer project in 2004 with a book called "The non-runners marathon trainer" has now become part of my life and every year when it gets close to marathon time I feel like I have to train for it!

This February I finished my 3rd marathon! I looove running. This year though I felt like something was missing; I blame it on the fact that Arves was in Germany and I couldn't share it with him. The race was still very fun with a temperature to dream for throughout the whole thing.
Even though Arves has been "retired" from running after our first marathon together (Top of Utah 04) I've managed to convince him that running is good and we're now working for a 1/2 marathon this summer with a 7.5 mph goal. Stay tuned for more details once it gets closer.

3rd!! That is awsome. I just finished my first half last weekend in Moab. It wasn't bad but I couldn't imagine turning around and going back up the road.

Way to go!
