40!

The morning I went into the hospital I had my family place the number 40 on the wall at the foot of my bed.  This number represents March 26th.  This is the day I planned to compete in the Sleepy Hollow Half-Marathon at 9:30am and then hop onto the Metro North to Grand Central and take part in a 7 person relay race for 24 hours straight on treadmills to raise money for M.S.

Insane?  No!  Insane is not doing something because people think its impossible or not something they would do.  Between the half-marathon and treadmill run I hope to log about 50 miles.    I plan to get ready for the training once the Dr. gives me the green light to get back to normal activities.

I plan to use my blog to document numerous workouts I use/develop to get me ready for races and just everyday life.  Hey these workouts work for me and they may become helpful to you as well.

"The body does not want you to do this. As you run, it tells you to stop but the mind must be strong. You always go too far for your body. You must handle the pain with strategy...It is not age; it is not diet. It is the will to succeed."
