This is where I shamelessly beg for money

But don’t worry, it’s not for me! So, in an effort to make my life less vanilla, to challenge myself by doing something difficult, and to have something to say when people ask “Tell me one interesting thing about you,” I’m going to train for a marathon. And so is Steve, because he is somewhat of a copycat

Where's teh link??

Oh, does the word "here" not look like it is a link in "You can make a donation here"? In my layout links are orange but maybe it is not so flashy in other layouts and hard to see. I'll fix that.

I probably just missed it. I'm still not awake.

I'm totally jealous. I would *not* be able to train for a marathon.

Wow, thanks!

Thanks for donating! (I got an e-mail.) That was way more generous than I expected anyone to be.

I bet you could do it, unless you have injuries. I would have felt the same way maybe a year ago, because I used to run but stopped and it just seemed too hard to get back into it. But then I did the couch to 5K program a few months ago and realized how much easier it is to start running when you have a training program.

I don't think I would do a marathon without some kind of coaching though, because they are going to tell us what to wear for different weather conditions and teach us how to drink water while running stuff like that, and I think that is important stuff to know when running long distances.
