My inspiration to run and most especially run marathons is my desire to show others that anyone can do it! If your g...

My Running Life: December 2010
http://jimsrunninglife.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 26, 2010. If you run, you are a runner. It doesn't matter how fast or how far. It doesn't matter if today is your first day or if you've been running for twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get. You just run. John Bingham. Maybe, but that was not how I saw it. I saw it as an opportunity! Thursday, December 23, 2010. Running a marathon or a half-marathon is by no means easy! I am certain that most people would agree with me on this point!
