In 13 I ran 500-600 miles that summer while preparing. I was doing 10-12 hour days, then with younger kids at the time it sucked. It took a tole on family life. Towards the end it seemed like all I did was work and run.
I enjoy running, but last year I never did anything. I kept telling myself I'll start tomorrow night etc... Then tomorrow night never came. I kept doing other things.
I need to find a run in late summer/fall do I have something to work for.
I'd love to run The Marine Corps Marathon again, but I don't think Lisa and the kids would go for that. Even though the cause I ran for was great and we were very successful...
