LV Marathon ---> Sunday December 4th @ 6am

When a person trains once, nothing happens.

When a person forces himself to do a thing a hundred or a thousand times,

then he certainly has developed in more ways than physical.

Is it raining? That doesn't matter. Am I tired? That doesn't matter, either.

Then willpower will be no problem.

. . So, beginning tomorrow morning, July 4th 2005, there are 152 full days to prepare for my marathon . . . I say "my" marathon, rather than "the" marathon, or even "the Las Vegas" marathon, because essentially, that's what it is; it's mine, I own it.

. .

. . Of course, that's not to say I won't share it with others. Actually, I extend the warm invitation for each and everyone of you to join me in an exhilerating 26.2 mile journey and all of the fun and adventure leading up to crossing the finish line.

. .

. . That's why over the next 152 days, I will be keeping an online record of my trials and tribulations as my resolve to evolve progresses and transforms me into the Marathon Mon.
