went to the marathon’s finish line on sunday to support one of my closest friends’ dad as he ran his 14th new york city marathon. until i stood at the finish line and witnessed the looks of accomplishment on the runners’ faces i never understood the point of running 26.2 miles. now i want in.
went home and ordered running shoes (which i needed anyway) and today downloaded the couch to 5k iphone app. sure a 5k isn’t a marathon, but you gotta start somewhere. just completed day three of the training, and so far so good.
also huge congrats to my friends who ran last week. i’m hugely impressed by all of you.
