Boston marathon blog

I've decided to write a blog on training for the Boston marathon. I don't have any illusions that anybody will care what I have to say - but, I figure it will help me to stay focused when it's 20 degrees out and the last thing I want to do is run a 20 miler. Also, I'm trying to get the company I work for (OptumHealth) to start some kind of a running related "community" - and I figure this might give me some ideas. The link is in the title of this post - maybe Ryan can put it in the list of blogroll on here too.

I started writing it a few weeks ago - but, I thought I'd try writing a few posts to see if it was worth doing before telling you guys about it. I'm planning to write about training, marathon history, my past marathon mistakes, quotes, psychology etc. I'd appreciate any input you guys might have - you guys inspire me (I really shouldn't have had that 3rd glass of wine before posting ;).

My most recent post is about my first marathon, where I melted in the LA sun and ran 18 minutes slower in the second half than my first. Enjoy.

THE KRIS said...

"the rock" isn't mexican?

Ben said...

he's actually half-black and half-somoan - so yes, according to the foreign restaurant rules - he is mexican.

THE KRIS said...

my point EXACTLY. oh, and thanks for being such an expert on the rock.

THE KRIS said...

...and i almost forgot. a little know fact about the kris is that he graduated from the university of miami with the rock. just saying.

I like how you refer to yourself as "the Kris". Reminds me of The Jimmy from Seinfield...

"The Kris likes his chicken SPICY"
