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 . . .

6 miles 4:45AM Rain
Yesterday morning at 4:45AM ran 6 miles in the rain. It was dark for the first couple of miles. The morning reminded me of early January mornings when I leave for my run in the dark and return from my run in the dark. The rain, sweat, the dark turning to light and the clicking rythym of my heart beat and footsteps onc again reminded me of why I do this. This morning was a quick 3 miles. 5:15AM . . .I listened to Coldplay today. I wore my Brooks Ghost 3 shoes (I wear them on runs under 4 miles) . . .they are my favorite shoes however I don't feel like they have the support to carry this ackward frame 26.2 miles. I have a long day ahead of me. . .
