Joints...not the ones you smoke
My joints hurt. Once I crossed over the 2 hour training mark my body told me I should have taken up swimming instead. Plenty of ADVIL and a glass of vino seems to be the short term cure.

Time away from work
Can you imagine the time involved in training...when you can do nothing else but RUN or workout? Thankfully, I own the business but if one of my employees told me they wanted some time off to train...knowing how much is needed...I would have to say NO WAY JOSE!

MADNESS in my mind
When you're out there the brain will have figured out almost all the world problems, your love issues etc. BUT without an IPOD, it's very difficult to tell your mind to shut-up and just breathe...EMPTY brain-EMPTY brain...running is not like Yoga!

SELF DOUBT
Training ALONE is not the best way to do it. Without anyone pushing you or encourging your progress it's hard to stay motivated especially when injuries occur or goals aren't reached. I'm counting on adreneline and mass crowds to keep me in the game on Marathon Day

Becoming ONE of THEM
Ok let's say I finish...that's cool. Believe me, I hope this process brings me to a happy ending but once I'm part of the club will the world see me as some kind of freak?! After all didn't the first marathoner who ran 26 miles plus 385 yards from the city of Marathon to Athens die once he finished...is this crazy long distance Ok for humans? We'll see....
