I was gone all morning attending Parent/Teacher conferences but left a list of chores for the children to accomplish. Emry not only fed the kids breakfast, she was festive about it.......Green Crepes!!
For Lunch it will be Split Pea Soup. I used the good ol' Better Homes recipe but veganized it using vegetable broth and omitting the Ham.
So Marathons. Since I am a runner I have been asked many times if I run Marathons. The short answer is "No". The longer more truthful answer is "Never in a million years it is so sadistic and torturous to even contemplate".
I run to be in shape and to reap the health benefits period. I do not need to be surrounded by hundreds of other runners. I do not need a swag bag or a number. I don't need the goal of a marathon to keep me on a workout schedule. And I certainly don't need to shell out money when I can run for free right outside my door.
Some people need that end goal to keep to a workout schedule. For me the training is far more beneficial than an actual marathon will ever be.
That being said I actually admire Marathoners. They have a goal and they train to accomplish it. Great. Exercise is always challenging and weather you take a 10 minute walk or a 2 hour run you should feel proud.
Looking forward to some Corned Beef and Cabbage with a bunch of friends tonight. Happy St. Patricks Day!
I have to say, I'm always kind of confused by people who pay exorbitant fees to enter a race when they can do the exact same thing themselves for free? Good for you for sticking to what you believe my friend!
