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 . . .

15 minutes before my first 20 miles.
15 minutes before my first 20 miler and I've got to be honest, I feel like I just got strapped into a rollercoaster. It is still dark out. All of the Owens' at my house are sleeping. I think that I have all of my appropriate bodyparts "taped", "covered" and "taken care of"! I remember that 10 miles was a big deal. 20 won't be twice as big a deal but big enough to wake me uup with butterflies. Of course, my mind is telling me that my left hips hurts - - OR, my left hip hurts. Regardless of my hip, my nerves, my covered bodyparts Robert Frost said , "I have miles to go before I sleep, miles to go before I sleep" . . and so do I.
