In August I turn 40. I already ride a motorcycle and flight school is out or my price range at this time so I am taking up marathon running as my mid life distraction. My long term goal is working up to Olympic distance triathlons. At this time I have no interest in an Ironman distance triathlon.

So, for my first marathon I picked Running with the Devil Marathon today around Lake Mead. It’s going to be hot! But if I can do this I can do any marathon. My start time will be at10am, I'll be running in the mid day sun, YEA!!!
