Running has never been my strong suit. I am slow and most of the times I am out of shape, however with the recent passing of the SF Nike Marathon this last weekend I got to thinking....what a great way to see all the cool buildings, people and attractions in a city than running past them. Ha ha! There can't be a better distraction that the scenery right? So I have decided that every year from here on out, that I will pick a city and run a half marathon. First on the list is New York City. I have been there several times and I have definitely taken in all the tourist attractions but the city is huge and I am sure I will see stuff while running that a normal tourist might never see.
Ultimately I want to run half marathons around the world. My goal is to someday run the Rome marathon.
What a great way to stay in shape year round (not easy to train for 13.3 miles in a couple of months) and to have an excuse to travel, and to some places that I might never go to if it weren't for the cause!
