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 . . .

7 Days and 25 miles later
Been 7 days and 25 miles since I have written anything on here. When I was putting stuff on here all of the time I found myself thinking about what I was going to write when I was running. I am not that guy and I don't want to be that guy. This morning I ran 3 miles with no music. Seems like when I don't have the Beastie Boys beating in my ears, my other senses come alive. In one quarter mile stretch this morning, I smelled pine, oranges, cigarettes and maple syrup. I weighed myself at the Y yesterday morning (spa day!) and weighed 177.2. I have no idea how I am going to run 26.2 miles. I am going to look at fuel belts this weekend. I don't really want to be THAT guy either but I'm not sure else what to do. I can't carry two handheld bottles and I AM NOT going to rely on water stations. I lost my toenail last week . .the other one is growing in just fine thank you very much.
