Fdip212: Four Hour Marathon Part 1: Why?

Published: Nov. 6, 2009, 5 a.m.

b'This is the first part in a series I\\u2019ll produce over the next year, regarding my efforts to run a sub four hour marathon.\\nFor me, the goal of running a Marathon in less than 4 hours is important to accomplish for many reasons including self confidence, a feeling that I\\u2019ve reached a new level in my running, reclamation of my inner youth, setting an example for my son, earning the respect of those who understand what a sub four means, and being able to look back at my trials and tribulations on the road over the past ten years with a new sense of appreciation for the hard work I\\u2019ve put in.\\xa0 \\nA sub four hour marathon finish will mean that I have stepped it up a notch, even if it\\u2019s the only sub four I may ever run; and it will be a personal record that I\\u2019ll savor and find pride in with the knowledge that even as a middle aged, middle of the pack slightly asthmatic goofy little podcaster runner: I can do anything.\\nShow Links:\\nDare to Dream by Adam Ilami'
