Comments on: Running a Marathon…My Perspective http://jesreynolds.com/running-a-marathon-my-perspecitve/ Sun, 22 May 2011 23:10:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Cliff Douglas http://jesreynolds.com/running-a-marathon-my-perspecitve/comment-page-1/#comment-813 Cliff Douglas Fri, 15 May 2009 02:55:49 +0000 http://jesreynolds.com/?p=164#comment-813 Hey, I finally read this awesome, and very funny, post, Jes. I've done just two of those things, and they were similar to your honest description. The caveat is that I was better trained the second time, ran it 30 minutes faster than the first outing (three years before), and -- drum roll -- felt better during and after it! So that's the good news that I'll bet applies to a lot of people, because I'm not even really a distance runner. Really, the biggest obstacle I "ran" into is that, after a while, I got bored with all of those miles. Love to run, but not forever. There's other good stuff to do in addition to running.

This post reads well with your more recent post on marathons in mind. Well, your other signature trait is that you’re quite cautious before committing, so “within reason” fits.

Hey, if someone wants to pay me to run a marathon, maybe that's the motivation I need to actually want to do it! Yes, it’s definitely a signiture trait (within reason).

I ran a 10k once that I liked quite a bit. What I liked most about this post was that you hated the experience but are open to doing it again if someone pays you. Is that a signature trait? I'm reminded of a story about Jalapenos and a $10 payment. I’ve never really had this desire. I ran a 10k once that I liked quite a bit.
