The Life and Times of the Watters Family

Marathon Training - Week 8 - Day 4

As anyone who reads this site with any regularity can see, I’m not the fastest bloke on the planet. That’s no problem for me, but it led to a funny exchange during my 14 mile run.

Guy On The Trail: “That’s a good pace you’ve got there. Not trying to kill yourself or anything.”

Me: “Well, I’ve got ten miles left.”

Guy: “How many total?”

Me: “Fourteen.”

Guy: “Oh, so you are trying to kill yourself!”

After the first 6.1 miles, I ran back by my house and picked up my sister-in-law’s boyfriend, Shane who ran the last 7.9 miles with me. (Here’s a pic of Shane and Holly, Betsy’s sister.)
