February * March * April * May * June * July * August * September * October * October 28th, MARATHON DAY

 26.2 Miles is not really that far . . . .  At least not with the National AIDS Marathon Training Program.
 Who am I kidding.  That's a really long way

Tuesday, February 27 - I attended the AIDS Marathon recruitment meeting this evening.  I'm probably crazy, but I signed up.  The director of the program was there and he didn't run a marathon until he was 40 - he didn't even run until then.  At least I run already.  The group was mixed.  A couple folks have run marathons or run competitively but quite a few hadn't run at all.
    I am impressed by the program.  The training is smart -- not too much and not too fast.  The program has raised a lot of money for the Whitman-Walker Clinic.   I signed up.  Time to start training.  The official program doesn't begin until May 5 with a 5K (or 3 mile run).  I am planning to train enough do be at 6 miles before May 5.  I also want to get into a cross training schedule during the week.
