from mile to marathon

dreaming

As soon as I decided to give up marathons, I started dreaming about running.

I dreamed running had been outlawed, but I had to deal with an emergency in a distant place, there was nothing to do but run there, so I kept running throughout the dream.

I dreamed about an Indian village, raided. The people who discovered it found the body of a woman, embalmed her head and took it with them, so they could find out who she was. A girl who saw the head almost fainted. It belonged to her mother. She was a marathon runner.

Marathon can be a dream or a nightmare depending on how your training goes and how your body reacts on that particular day.

You may have run your last marathon. Having run 8 of them I'd say you have had the opportunity to explore the distance and the rewards the distance has to offer.

I took about 5 years break between my first and second marathon. My first was undoubtedly going to be my last when I crossed the finish line. But then I started dreaming of Boston and I was back at it again.

We look forward to reading a book written by you someday. Keep us posted!

I think this is a sign.

You need to do another marathon to ward off the evil spirits.

Whoa! You have some intense dreams. Funny how the subconcious (sp?) takes over while we sleep.
