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 GOT SCARED OF MY OWN SHADOW TODAY . . .
. . . .NOT COOL! 4 miles yesterday. 8 miles today. I hit the road yesterday at 4:45AM . .today it was 5:00AM. This morning was the first morning that I actually had to drag myself out the door. Probably because I have a new pair of shoes (and this always happens) but I have several body parts that aren't very happy with me right now . . .my left IT BAND and my right achilles tendon. Running typically gives me abundant energy to feed off throughout the day. With this heat it has had the reverse effect. At 5:00AM this morning it was already 85 degrees! I jumped about 3 feet off the ground today when I came upon my shadow . . .I do not run because of who I am, I run because of who I want to be.
