Running the Chicago Marathon PDF Print E-mail
Posted March 2, 2010
 
Sometimes you have to do the asking, and someone else has to say Yes for something wonderful to happen. Say Yes to life, All else follows from that.  
 
Wanting to run a marathon, and knowing I wouldn’t do the training on my own, I asked a friend if he wanted to run it with me.  He said (can you guess?) YES. And we did. We ran an arduous, wheezing, five-minute stint the first day, and a bit more each day after that. In ten weeks, we ran the Chicago Marathon. I have always hated running. I had never run before, and I never ran since, but will always cherish the summer that I did.

and you shoulda seen me skate last Sunday, glide, weave, racing round and round. Fluid, like dance, graceful, social- with lots of people all around you, with wind in the face like flying, . I think roller skating is a celebration of life, a physical, joyous reveling in life.
I amazed myself.
Oh, and it is great exercise as well.
