Marryathon

SO I've begun my training for the Vermont City Marathon. Thats 26.2 miles for those of you who don't know or think that its 25 or 26, just from finishing the half I know those last .2 around the waterfront are exceptionally gruelling and endless. I am fortunate enough to work with a few experienced athletes. One of my boss's wife is a professional Ironman competitor. Her twin sister Kelly Liljeblad (the best coach in the world) hooked me up with a marathon training program. In the photo to the left she is finishing a marathon in Miami. By finishing I mean winning a marathon in Miami, and she finished with a time of 2:47:13. Impressive right? Well her best time is actually 2:32:27, so if I can even do an hour slower than her I'll be exceptionally happy. Goal 1: finish the marathon Goal 2: finish in under 4 hours Goal 3: finish in under 3:30, they are ranked in order of likeliness... Goal 4: meet the prettiest girl in Vermont on the course and hold hands crossing the finish line while she writes her number across my bicep in hot pink lipstick. I might change that to my number one goal...continuing in order of likeliness. But seriously though, if you want to be in a place surrounded by only fit and mostly attractive people, then go to a damn marathon. Thats my first dating tip...more to come fellas more to come.
