Getting Ready to Race

Here is a quick recap of the ING Georgia Marathon with Team Samaritan's Purse!

Sharing why I run at the Team Samaritan's Purse dinner.

A bit of a Where's Waldo if you are looking for me.

Everyone find a running buddy!

Me making it look easy?

The ING Georgia Marathon was tough, always up or down hills. I finished in average 4:30 time for me. If you asked me it wasn't "nothing," but it feels too easy to recover so quickly from something so difficult. It makes me wonder how it would go if I ran without reserves, ran without regard of recovery. The first guy to run a marathon died... poor Pheidippides.

I can go faster, but it has to be done in training. It has never really been a focus for me. I can finish all these races, and until now I have been fine collecting medals and running a huge event every month to keep up my endurance without training. For once, and really for the first time, I am going to train.

We will know how fast I can go. I am not going to just finish this Ironman, I am going to race.
