A Passion for Running

Welcome to the home of Mark aka The Running Blogfather - a 40 year-old dad, husband and marathon runner who’s beaten injury and is on the comeback trail!

back in the marathon game!

passion for running category: running on Thursday, October 19 2006

After a two year layoff from the big show, I’m ready to jump back in. I’ve started marathon training!

A lot went into this decision but, in the end, all I can say is I really missed pushing myself toward the goal marathons represent and finally feel ready to commit to it again.

I’ve some things to say about the thinking behind this decision and how I’ll approach the training but, for now I’ll just say I’m in and looking forward to the challenging times ahead.

What’s new in your world?

YAY for marathons! The only think new in my world is that I have 20 loads of laundry waiting for me. Wait. That’s not new, that’s standard. Okay, so nothing new.
