What does it take to walk a marathon? September 5, 2007

Posted by jean in : marathons , trackback

I’ve been thinking about this, and you can bet that I’ve been thinking about this during my very long (over 17 miles, some of them) Saturday training walks. This is what I think is required:

• Good genes. (Thanks, mom and dad!)
• A large capacity for suffering.
• The willingness to engage that large capacity for suffering

Well, at least we have control of two of the three.
