Divided By Zero's Journal, 02 September 2009

There's nothing but a bunch of crazies on Fatsecret anyway so you'll blend in just fine. ;-) 

You AREEEE crazy!!!!!!!! But cool! :) Yay you! 

haha i love that film :D 

OK, you've officially inspired me with the running. I've been debating with myself this morning on what it will take in order for massive progress to happen for me; then I saw your post. I ran my first half-marathon- I can't tell you how many years ago - and always promised myself I would complete a marathon. I came very close about 5 years ago, going 23 miles as an "unofficial" runner in the Sacramento Marathon. Then life got in my way and, well, you know how it goes. I just decided I'm gonna train for a marathon in December - even if I walk it, or hobble to the finish line - I'm gonna do it! Thanks for the inspiration and Best of Luck to you!  

P.S. I know you're gonna kick some serious ass in Texas!  

I love that movie!! Definitely inspiring. Hope you don't have a Hank Azaria type you gotta deal with in real life. I gotta find a CLOSE 5K so I can join the race club! 

How did I miss that movie??? I just got caught up w/ the trailer on yt. hahaha, ooooh NOPE no k's in my town, **relieved!** - lala you crazy, did you see the size of that blister!?!?! heehe!  

@doit2it: If you already have a running base then 3 months should be a good amount of time to prepare. Don't push it too hard though, remember to walk when you need to, and good luck! 

Thanks "Divided". I was always pretty realistic regarding pace when I was a runner- WAY BACK WHEN. I never suffered shin splints or knee problems - a combination of good sense and sound body I suppose. I know 3 months will be a push, but I'll be careful and listen to my body on when to push forward and when to back off. I used to enjoy 10k's and one of the fun parts was watching all the rabbits race off at the starting gun, knowing I'd see them again about 3/4's thru the run. I checked out marathons and there's one in Santa Barbara in December. Does anyone know anything about it? i.e. difficulty, good/bad for a beginner, etc? 

Yeah, well... we are all a bit crazy. Good luck. :) 

Great movie. Was skeptical when I heard it was directed by David Schwimmer but love Simon Pegg. Good luck with the training. If you search on the NY Times website, you can find a lot of good articles about marathon training.  

Good luck! 

I had a dream about barefoot running last night! your getting into my head haha 

He will forever be the Sean of the Dead guy. Go you with the marathon. I bet the cold weather will help some.
