Get this straight… I do not want to run the 2008 Pasadena Marathon.
But I have a problem: peer pressure from Ryan and Hope … and a detailed, sensible, well-thought-out five-month training schedule put together by Eric and Jeff have me almost convinced that I will run it. Week #1 of the training schedule starts today, so I will be off on a five-mile run in about an hour.
Twenty-seven people showed up at the initial meeting Saturday morning, and many others who will run could not be there. We each received a packet from Eric and Jeff with targeted training times. With the packet, I have to select a marathon time for which to aim. So… here it is (with full willingness to change this target as I see fit)…
Targeted marathon finish: 3:20:00.
I believe that to be realistically achievable, but we will see.
yes michael….drink the cool-aid…it will taste good in the end.
You pussy!
