The journey of 26.2 miles...

Today was Day 1 of Team Bartel training for the OBX Marathon. It was a success. You know that little twitchy thing that muscles do when you haven't made them work in a while? I mean after you work out, or after you do something involving muscles that don't get used very often. Well, my whole legs were twitching after this morning's run. So it's a good thing I'm making them get to work.

Today's workout:
5 min. walking warmup
run 3 min./walk 2 min. (x7)
5 min. walking cooldown
(from Marathoning for Mortals by John Bingham)

Today's motivational thought:
"We are different, in essence, from other men. If you want to win something, run 100 meters. If you want to experience something, run a marathon." - Emil Zatopek

It was me, Adrian, and Abby! Jonathan stayed with Linus.

The lady from fenetech hasn't responded after Jonathan let her know that he's free any time for another interview.
