A Few posts from other blogs

Here are a few posts from other blogs I am reading:

Chad Austin called me
:

"Marc may be one of the year’s most inspirational stories."

I am humbled, but also wondering if Chad's wife could check his temperature. . . There are lots of people that have overcome more than me. I just show what is possible to give lazy guys less excuses. . . ;)

I am also reading Eric. I found his blog when he commented on my Marathon post. We shared a serious complaint with the cold wind on 25th Ave S at Fargo. We both ran our first marathon last Saturday. But from here, the stories differ. Eric started at the front between Dick Beardsley and Andrew Carlson. He also finished second overall. Good job Eric; I hope to actually meet you face to face and shake you hand sometime.

Here is his reports:

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4

I have Scheels Run Club tomorrow night and I am going to take a lesson from Chad and interview some of our runners for postings. Look forward to them in the next week.

Gotta run. . .

Marc, any of us 140 lb guys that run 70 mpw can run a marathon. Running isn't even exercise for us, it's just something we do.

To see someone make a conscious effort to start exercising in order to have a better/healthier/longer life to spend with their loved ones - and running a marathon along the way - now that's inspirational.
