can be one of my favorite events of Medellin. Do not really know why, it's something crazy like my fascination with the Olympics (I am one of those all-nighters to see events like pole vaulting), and certainly the marathon receives part of the excitement that he once devoted to reading and ADULT FOOTBALL the sports pages of newspapers, which I do not do. But the marathon is a component of almost any other sporting event in Medellin has any ordinary person can participate. And I, being the type that Pelagatos not lost moved from a cot, no could stop participating in it. In fact they already 4 or 5 times that I ran, in its various forms.
Therefore, one might infer that I am a dedicated athlete. Actually ... no. Although a child I always liked sports I was a real fiasco for them, I reached a point losing two months of physical education in 5th grade. That was not the only thing, it was always the last to chose when arming football teams (in football if I am a fiasco) and a volleyball tournament in class to become the "floating population" and I took turns to computer team games. You can imagine the fate of the team with me on board. In any case, some of my hierpactividad always burned in sports, and although lacking in success, I think I owe my decent physical condition to actually keep practicing.
The first time I ran the marathon was at school, and I almost died with 9 miles. And see 60 year old woman who ran the 21 and went as some oak was frustrating. But no, the passage of time, and develop my passion for jogging , and 9 miles I can run them without problems. Average of 21 .... that's another story, although I've run average twice both times I lost my rhythm and I had to walk a path. But I do not care, I'm sure I will not win a marathon ever, does not really want to, I do it for *. patch
As I said, I run it by patch. It settled my friends do not understand this love. Moreover, clearly seems an aberration, but someone who will take the pleasure to trot know what I mean. And if only fun jogging, jogging a marathon is a delight. Being with that many people around the world in a good plan and finish the race. And while not as demographically spacing as a Jazz concert , if you see many types of people, from Kenyans who will win, even 70 years old com running gazelles, to parents and ragamuffins (like me), not counting the multitude that supports and bar. That's why a race, a marathon is an exercise in town, and the best patch possible for a Sunday morning (not even sleep wins, I on Sunday morning I have dreams very rare).
This year I would not, I have a slight knee injury, I was spending more to swimming than to trot the last few days, I did not prepare well, do not want to run alone and had other things on his mind. There was some disappointment in not run, and knowing that he had done last year. But I was high stakes. The last night I spoke with a friend, who in answering the phone told me "So, let's run Sunday? "I answered with the amount of excuses at the beginning of this paragraph." Let go! I'm not trained! ". We agreed to speak today. The idea of \u200b\u200brunning the marathon was thorn. But and training, and knee and that 21 ..
1270
That's my number. I could be disappointed. Who knows what will happen tomorrow. You can break my record of 2:30 pm (suck, I know) but I do not. But surely if I'm going to laugh a lot.
But possibly not as much as I ran 5km dressed as a pirate, with a foil sword in hand. My Boatswain carried the dreaded skull flag. Together we loaded a boat made of cardboard and threw them to the brackets existed dogs college girls who laughed with us: P. Ahh
and hope to meet Claus, yes I do, will be the beginning of the race. It is unthinkable that I will ever pass away. Claus tesÃsima itself is an athlete. And much more marathons plaice me.
* That reminds me of something funny, a few days ago I read an article in the New Yorker about a professional marathon runner. Article besides her story a while lecturing about the professional world of marathoners, and talking about these races say Marathoning May Be the only sport in Which sponsors target the losers, and the losers pay the winners for ( Running marathons may be the only sport where sponsors are the losers as a target, and the money from the losers is paid to the winners))
