how to run a marathon

I met this lady when she was 6 years old and I was 13. She was a lanky, wide-eyed attractive and charming kid with the potential for a beauty queen. Fast forward 10 years (30 years ago) - she was swept into my embrace and has not let go ever since.

After all these years she finally consented to join me in my runs and marathons, and I intend to update this album every time another episode comes along.

So if you really want to know how to do a marathon – read on. Have fun!

first you have to get the right running shoes. If you are used to stilettos the rubber soles would feel soo good.

no smoke and traffic.
