My sister is going to run in The Pittsburgh Marathon in a few months. She and a group have been training for over one and half years now and she is finally going to do it. She told me she can go about twenty miles, but at times she will cramp at this point. If she can control those muscle cramps in her sides and legs, I think she might make it. She is pretty head strong so I can see her finishing in her first ever marathon. I ran 12 miles one time when I was in service and I thought I would be in traction for the rest of my life, but that 26 mile deal just makes me go "God did not intend for human being to run 26 miles." I think I might start doing some light running since I have been cigarette free for two years. Very very light running I should say, maybe to the mailbox and back.
