I am Doug. I am 47 years old. I am running out of time. This blog/website started 5 years ago because of all the curiosity/questions that people had surrounding my first marathon. I finished my marathon . . . I have since ran 2 more marathons and an ultra marathon. ..I still run . . .and I still write . . .and I'm still running out of time.
This is it . . .

I DON'T ALWAYS LIKE MYSELF
but I like myself when I run. I worked out at the Y yesterday. I didn't impress anybody there with how much weight I was lifting. This morning I ran at 5:00AM . . .I ran past a house that I have been running by for 5 years and this time saw an ambulance and a stretcher. In the summer, she works out in the yard early before the sun gets hot. She has her TV on early in the morning year round. I don't know her, but I know about certain aspects of her life. When you run, you observe . . .As I ran by, all I could do was pray for her. I have 4 miles to run in the morning - -I will run by her house and hope to see the TV flickering in the front window. I listened to the song, "Wagon Wheel" by Old Crow Medicine Show at least 1,400 times today. I don't always like myself, but I like myself when I run . . .
