Training for MY FIRST MARATHON - since 1975

Audio from the half marathon in pigeon Forge Tennessee on 12 1220

I spoiled myself with a super fast metabolism when I was young because I ran a lot. In my adult years, keeping weight off became a major struggle.

Thanks for joining for - In training for MY FIRST MARATHON - since 1975. I'm Paul and I've probably been running longer than you have. Actually, I've probably been running longer than most any runners you know. So, why....am I just now beginning training for my very first marathon? On this podcast, I will try and explain.  I'm gonna chat with you about running, faith and recovery (from all kinds of bad stuff).  Thanks for joining me! Hey, should you start your training now, too?

I didn't realize I was lying to myself when I told myself I couldn't run.  My reasons for not being able to run were fake not fact. 

I told my good friend, Big Steve the other day how slow my running time was and he said, 'hey buddy, you are lapping everybody who is on the couch."  I like that.  We all get old if we live long enough. Some of us struggle with weight. Some with illness. Some of us struggle with other demons. If you are running... you're in the race - and that's all that matters.  #trainforamarathon
