« A Thousand (+64) Words on Web 2.0 | Main | Arrival » October 8, 2005Off To The RacesI'm back in Seattle, a night's sleep under my belt (in my own bed!), and I'm prepping to head down to Portland for the mararthon. The starting gun goes off tomorrow at 7 AM. I feel ... great. On the flight home last night, I wound up sitting next to a couple of guys - one's an environmental consultant, the other's a recently-retired pilot for Alaska Airlines - who had done the distance-running thing. As we sat there, chatting about the feeling of accomplishment you get from doing one of these things, this stupid smile spread across my face, and I found myself really looking forward to tomorrow morning. For the record: I don't give a damn about my time. I'm likely to be "around" four hours, but whether that's 4:01:00 or 4:30:00 doesn't matter. I'm out for fun and for the thrill. I just want to finish: style comes later. The Shuffle's been filled with great music; the Clif Bars, Bodyglide, and band-aids are packed; I've cut about six hours' of podcasts and music to CD (the rental car, sadly, lacks an iPod interface). OK, I'm off. The hotel has broadband, so I'll blog when I can. Posted by Gavin Shearer at October 8, 2005 9:31 AM. Posted to Fitness. CommentsPost a commentThanks for signing in, .
