I can't believe what I just typed.
My. Second. Marathon.
I never thought I'd run one... lemme rephrase that... I'd never thought I'd run AT ALL. And here I am, about to tackle a second marathon.
It's all but right in front of me. Two weeks from this very moment I can replay my marathon glory over and over again, and I will have two marathons under my belt and hopefully a nice medal to go along with it.
This will also be my second marathon not just ever but in the last six months. Two marathons in six months! Yikes!
I know there are marathoners out there who run that many in a lot less time than that, but I try not to compare myself to anyone. I have to do what's best for me and what was best for me in 2010 was to give myself some time to build up to this marathon.
What's best for me is running.
Lest I forget where I came from.

I've said this before and I'll say it again and again - if the guy on top can become a marathoner, anything's possible.

you really inspire me, Luis. you come into my mind frequently during my runs and your story pushes me to finish! totally rockin' the Mud Run t-shirt today by the way :o)
It is just amazing what we can accomplish when we put our minds to it! Congrats!
And if that isn't motivation, then I don't know what is!
I say you set your sights for triathlons next!! You are a true inspiration!!
Awesome! I thinks it's so cool that you have shared your story/journey with all of us. It's so motivational. Run on, my friend!
Congrats on your journey! I have a similar start and end..... not sure about the journey since I haven't read enough yet :)
