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 . . .

80 degrees at 5:30AM
Ran 6 miles this morning at 5:30AM - - it was 80 degrees. Here are some of the random happenings on the run: left home, ran past the hospital where my grandpa's died, ran past the nursing facilities where my grandma's died, ran past my mom's house, ran past the hospital where I was born - -ran home. It is a blessing and a curse to live where I grew up. . . life and death happens in my head when I am on the road by myself. Interesting how I can let my mind wander back in time while my body pushes itself forward. I'm not sure that this "running thing" is for people who can't be alone with themselves in their own head.
