Ahhhh. I was thinking it was some kind of crazy acronym or something, that I hadn't heard of yet.

Re: How many marathons have you run?

I'm too late I know but I have completed 16 - 14 MCMs, 1 Philly and 1 CMM. Planned are MCM 2008, Philly 2008 (I'm counting on Holly to get me through), Disney 2009 and Pittsburgh 2009.

For those who don't know, Will Brown is one of the MCM Ground Pounders. He has finished all of them.

Re: How many marathons have you run?

As stated before, I did one in 1984, BQd in 1988 -- and then got really fat. Ran my third in April (19 years 7 month layoff). Now I'm signed up for another... October 11th and a fifth October 26th. Immediately after the race I have to fly to Vegas for a tax conference. Maybe if they have drive through weddings they can have drive through therapy, too. No marathons in 20 years; 2 in one month. Hey -- you don't stop running because you grow old, you grow old when you stop running.

I'll be there with Bells on, Len! Hopefully I will be taking the bells off while I run! That would just be annoying!

Re: How many marathons have you run?

Holly, I sure hope you get your tendonitis fixed. The bells might help - we could try to out-run the sound.

Re: How many marathons have you run?

Thats true. I'm hoping. Taking a little more time off. I plan on getting up with the boys for race day in Chi-town, but jus going for my own run while they go to the corrals. Then just cheering them on from somewhere along the course. Hopefully, I still have plenty of time to get better for Philly.

Glad to see this stating you were still coming to Chicago. Again sorry to hear about your hip.

Re: How many marathons have you run?

Holly, is it the same problem you had with the hip that caused you to have surgery???? What has your doctor said?

I don't appreciate y'all making me jealous because I can't come to Chicago. Maybe there's a court reporter convention there that weekend. I'm going to check

Re: How many marathons have you run?

Nope. Its something caused by surgery. I had developed tendonitis in the hip and ankle after surgery. Went through phyisical therapy for it. Thought I was good enough to take on the world, but I guess I'm just pushing to hard. Just gonna fall back and concentrate on Philly.

I've known for a while I told Jerry and Lauren last week. Might be another reason I haven't been around much lately.

Re: How many marathons have you run?

I've noticed. We've missed you. I'm sorry! Maybe you need a little more PT and a slower start back. You're still going to be at MCM, right?

Re: How many marathons have you run?

I'll be there I always planned on handing out goodies at that one! I can't wait to see everyone again!!!

I'm thinking I really need to start from scratch and go in a couch to 5K type program, like I'm starting brand new. Unfortunately, I'm a dummy a signed up for a slew of marathons instead!
