Backstage With The Beatles

Run, Run, Run
I am registering for the Boston Marathon. Last year was a no-go because of my ankle injury. Honestly, I don’t know if I’ll be in shape to even finish it this year. I’m fifteen pounds over my ideal running weight. Also, I haven’t yet tested my ankle for a distance longer than 12 miles. I’ll be doing that next weekend, when I attempt to go for sixteen. Getting into shape isn’t easy! Staying in shape once you’re there is much easier.
