I ran 2006 Baystate Marathon, or, as Jim Pitts, my coach, says, I survived it. I thought it would never end, but it did — 5h36min.

The best part was to commit to running and to train every day or almost every day. To allocate an hour or two a day for running was a challenge. Work, meetings, conferences — all ask for attention. I was cutting my business trips to make sure I could keep training every day. I am glad I did it.

Here is my log and my sneackers after 250 miles of running. Sneakers were very comfortable.

If you ever thought of running a marathon, just do it. It is an awesome experience. Or, drop me a line and we may run as a relay team together.
