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 . . .

14.3 miles in 2 days
Yesterday morning and this morning I was outside well before the sun came up. This morning I was out the door at 4:45AM and ran 10 miles. Two mornings in a row all I heard were crickets, trains and semi's off the interstate. The moon was bright both mornings and too many stars to count. Yesterday I watched the sunrise while I was running down a dark country road. Both mornings were so peaceful that I did not want to interrupt them with music. I am so grateful for the mornings that I have had running over the last 5 or 6 years. Every run tells a story. Each one has a beginning, a middle and an end - - - I am grateful for the stories told over the last 2 mornings. 5 miles tomorrow and then a couple of days rest before the big 20 miler! I am so thankful that I am not injured. 40 miles this week! The most I have ever run in one week!
