One of the interesting parts of being a pastor is the extras that you get asked to do. Today, I am performing a wedding. While that kind of event always makes my schedule a little busier (counseling appointments, rehearsal, wedding) it does often come with a nice little perk--the family usually kicks down a little cash to thank me for my services.
So what does a runner do when he gets a little extra cash? Why register for his first marathon of course! And maybe a new running watch. Woohoo!
You got it, even though my first half marathon is two weeks away, I have just registered for the San Francisco Marathon on July 31, 2011. No post-race blues for me after completing the Bidwell Classic. On to training for the next big event. That's where the watch will come in handy--I'm going with the Garmin Forerunner 305--because it's cheap (compared to the new models), has a great reputation, and does everything I need it to do.
By the way, I ripped of the title of this blog from this year's SF marathon: Worth the Hurt! Gotta love it. One of the cool things about the SF marathon (along with a lot of marathons) is that they encourage fundraising for a cause you believe in. More on that in a few weeks. Until then:
168.7 miles down, 55 miles to go (until the finish line of the Bidwell Classic).
