it's not a sprint, it's a marathon...literally

Sorry I haven't written in a while. I've been busy. I'll try to come up with some more random humor on a more regular basis...I promise. Anyway, onto the point of this post... I am currently training for the Cape Cod Marathon, which I will be running on October 25th. I realize that I have no chance against any Kenyans or really anyone who is in any way athletic. Instead, I am running this marathon for the following two reasons: 1. I set a goal when I ran track in high school that I would run a marathon by the age of 30. What I thought at the time was that I would probably run one when I got out of college. What I didn't know is that I was going to put on 60 lbs. in college and become completely out of shape. Now that I'm getting back into shape, it's the perfect time for me to accomplish it. I've only got 4 more years until 30 and there's a good chance that I'll be busy with a kid atleast a couple of those years. That's cuts my options way down. So this is the year. 2. I want to raise money for Speed the Light which purchases vehicles and sound equipment for missionaries around the world. I had a friend run a marathon last year to raise money for Speed the Light and decided that if he could do it, I could too. If you would like to make a pledge in support of my marathon, please contact me at bostonbrown@gmail.com. I added the "donate" tab connecting to Paypal per request of a friend. Seriously, I have no clue why I let myself get so out of shape in the first place. I've lost 21 lbs already this year and will be looking to lose another 25-30 by the marathon. Wish me well on that people.
