My Road to Boston 2007

How far are you going with all that water?

I bought a water belt for my long runs. Ever since then I have dreamt of the day someone would run up next to me to ask: "How far are you going with all that water?"

I suppose it is the peer recognition I was craving. Needless to say it hadn't happened. Not until this past Monday. I was out for my longest run to date, 14 miles, and a lady in red shorts presented the question. I answered her to the hundredth of a mile, 14.32 miles. Her follow-up question was even better than I imagined.

"Wow, are you training for a marathon?"

So, thank you lady in the red running gear. You made the rest of my long run that much easier.
