Never too late for running marathon. I started to run 3 years ago. Two half marathon and marathon this year. i wanted to run with my son for half marathon before he is off to college. this is how i started. so you figure my age. i ran first marathon this year, but missed 13 second to qualify for 2008 boston. the story did not end there. next year my age category will change so that i qualified for 2009 boston marathon. my goal is to run boston marathon with my son. he will not be in the US in april, 2009. i will be running for 2008 houston marathon to qualify for 2010 boston. never ending effort... i am sure someday you will be a Boston runner.

I always get so hyped up by all the race day news (did you know that both Lance and Kristin Armstrong were running?) but at the same time I feel insanely jealous that I am not one of the runners.
I just have to hold on to my hope that someday I will be a Boston runner instead of a spectator. I guess the bright side of getting older is that I now get five extra minutes to qualify, thanks to my most recent birthday. (in order to run in the Boston Marathon, you have to get a qualifying time from another marathon.)
I want to send out a big “CONGRATS” to Judith over at Autismville. She ran yesterday for her son Jack and his school, Nashoba Learning Group. Judith, I hope you have your feet up right now and that you are getting some much needed rest! (and did you see Lance?)
Now just in case you are thinking that YOU could never run a marathon, think again.
PBS had a special on last week called “Marathon Challenge”. It is a documentary that follows
“13 generally sedentary people through a training regimen designed to prepare them for an ultimate test of stamina and endurance.”
They go from being non-runners to marathon runners in a matter of 9 months! You can watch it online here. It is very inspirational, so be sure to keep your running shoes nearby. (and tissues too.)
All this talk of marathons makes me want to go running.
How about you, what activity are you doing today?
