Things I never do, volume 4

Hey, I'm running a marathon.

There is no punchline to the above statement. It is not a sexual innuendo, and it is not jive 'code-talk' for something fun and subversive. I am literally running a lot, with the goal of running a whole lot in the city marathon in December. I just realized I hadn't mentioned it to many people. And if this strikes you as a decidedly non-canon Chuck adventure, well, you're not the first to notice the problem.

My buddy Tim asked me if I wanted to run it with him, back in August, so we've been training up for it for months, now. Technically, it's a half-marathon (13.3 miles) we'll be running, and 'running' would be putting it charitably. I don't really run, normally, so this is totally outside the norm of my usual choice of things to do with my time, and based on 4 months of training, I'll venture to say it's not something I'll pursue too seriously after the race. But I think that's the draw, really - new territory, big challenge, and something to look forward to.

In the interest of full disclosure: The chick population at the jogging track on a Saturday morning isn't bad, either.

Have a good one,
C
