Am amazing thing happens once you begin to run. For one, you discover that there are a lot of people who run. It's like this secret club (one that I was okay not being a part of). You mention running and soon discover that quite a few people have participated in races all over the country.
Once I find out that someone has completed a marathon, I immediately ask, "What was it like?" Here are some of the responses I've received. By the way, none of these responses make me feel better about completing a marathon.
"I threw up three times before the 10th mile marker."
"It hurts. It really hurts."
"Buy a running shoe 1 size larger than you normally wear. I didn't at first and found out the hard way that your toenails will nearly come off once you start reaching 10+ miles ... not good."
Vomiting and missing toenails ... seems like if I can just get past the 10th mile, I might be okay.
Seriously, what have I done?
