Why run 26.2 miles? Good question.
After much thought (and a little waffling), several of my coworkers and myself have launched into, what we consider, a very bold endeavor. Bold on two fronts:
1) We are pushing our bodies beyond the limits of what they have previously achieved.
2) We are pushing ourselves to raise large sums of money for those less fortunate at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
A couple of pretty tough, yet extremely admirable, tasks if you ask me. I am certain that this will be the most physically grueling feat I have ever attempted and probably the second most difficult mentally (kicking field goals in front of thousands in person and millions on TV tends to be stressful and will have to remain on the top of the list). Anyway, I haven’t done anything like this before (running a marathon or keeping a blog), so bear with me and check back often for updates on how we are doing.
