It seems that every blogger who's ever run a marathon -- and some local friends -- have made the comment that with my mileage and long runs lately I might as well just do a marathon. No, just no! I really do not want to. I had all kinds of respect for marathoners to begin … Continue reading I don’t want to be in the 1%: 7/30 – 8/5 Weekly Wrap
