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 . . .

26.2 miles later . . .
26.2 miles later I'm home. . .I've got to be honest - this was tough. I can barely walk! My wife and kids are getting a foreshadow of what I am going to look like when I'm 80! I did not set any records . . .but I put one foot in front of the other for 26.2 miles, crossed the Mississippi River twice, ran in the cold rain for almost 8 miles, stayed on my feet, hit the wall (if it wasn't THE it was A wall), fought my demons and finished the last quarter mile with my son running with me. More later . . .warm shower and the Bears.
