ould back track. If I'm to survive my 1st marathon, please note that I promise to purchase a watch in preparation for my 2nd. I will also study a pace chart, thoroughly get to know the course and do long runs that span longer than 7 miles.2. Big Sur to Monterrey isn't a bad location to keel over. Amongst the redwoods and with an ocean view.
3. I want to be cremated, my ashes tossed in the Pacific. I want a memorial service with many friends and family, a post-party with Marty doing something stupid (probably a female),
and a picture of me shirtless and a caption reading, "The Incredible Hul-labaloo"4. A picture of me doing stand-up with a caption reading, "please don't laugh."
5. For some of the meaningful things I've tried to say to take on some sort of meaning, and furthermore, application in others' lives.
6. To know that jokes and goo
fing around have a meaning far beyond the exultation a punchline exudes.7. If you want something, do it now. Don't wait. Don't rationalize it until later. Do it now. Hence 26.2.
8. The Simpsons is a great education.
9. Why I could die happy at 23 and why I'm running a marathon:
"...Hans felt...at peace with himself and what he was doing. He had always been terrified of plane turbulence, as if he might die with the best inside of him, but now he could fly through a violent storm sleeping like a baby. Strange indeed." - The 4-Hour Workweek, page 39.
and... "you don't need to prove nothin' to nobody except yourself." - guess the apropo movie title

It's just a race. Like any race, it will hurt you in inverse proportion to the amount that you train. Being 42,196 meters long, though, it has the potential to hurt you much more than, say, a 1,500 meter race.
ReplyDeleteWell, I just want to put it out there: I just ran a mile. So, you know, there's that....You're running 26, I ran 1, I feel like we have a lot in common.
