a faster marathon

Who likes to run for over 4 hours straight?

I'd rather not- so this is my experience in reducing my finishing times from over 4 hours to, well, FASTER!

Feel like running again....

My goal is to run Saturday morning.... Anyone taking bets?

I was talking to a co-worker that is now a running machine. (Nice job!) I'm inspired!

Will I fall over dead by Saturday afternoon? Will I make it a mile without need oxygen? Will I simple say forget it and sleep in?
