Hey Guys!
Kirkham Workout of the Day...do a marathon...
On snow shoes
(Well, we kept the snow shoes on for 10 miles of the 26.2! After that we ditched them and ran in our running shoes on the snow.) My brother talked me into doing it yesterday. I'm glad he did. The furthest I had ever run in my life was 5 miles...and I did that on Thursday
When we started this morning it was 14 degrees outside. This marathon had almost 5000 feet of vertical climb (and 5000 decent). You are slipping and sliding all over the place. It was a ton of fun. I'm sure I'll be sore tomorrow
Yes, what we do isn't for everyone. That doesn't matter. It isn't so important what you do...it is only important that you DO something. Do what motivates you and makes you happy. We just love to try new things out.
Life is great. The guys who organized the marathon were top notch. It was great to be around them all day. They worked hard at all the aid stations to keep everyone hydrated and happy. Great organization.
I always wanted to do a marathon. It feels great to cross another one off my bucket list
