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 . . .

One more day of rest
Instead of running 16 miles today, I walked 3 miles with my wife this morning. My sickness lingers in my head and still makes me dizzy - - -I am being smart by not starting to run too soon. It is driving me crazy. I have not run since Wednesday and feel completely out of shape. I miss "me" and God struggling and sweating on the road in the early morning. I have realized that when it comes to running I do the best "I can" with what "I have." It is not any different than me trying to be a good man. We are a sum of our victories, scars, wounds and losses . . . Tomorrow I am going to run 4 easy miles and then try to conquer atleast 10 miles on Tuesday. I believe that 16 miles is out of the question right now given my weak state.
