Signed up for Big Sur 2006

I just signed up for the Big Sur Marathon again this evening.

This will be my 3rd time around. Here are my notes after last year’s run, which I finished in about 3:50.

One of the things I like about running marathons is there isn’t really any way to shortcut the preparation. In general you can’t just be athletically gifted and run a marathon course. At Big Sur this is even more true, due to the famously hilly course.

    My new running blog…

    This is also giving me a chance to try out Word…
