So I'm doing something a little strange tomorrow: running another marathon. Now there are plenty of tough, battle-hardened individuals out there that can race marathons at near their full potential with no more than a week or two of recovery, but I am not one of them. I can barely run the first week post-race, and I remain physically and motivationally deficient for at least another two weeks. But when I heard that beautiful Fort Worth was offering up a decent chunk of change for everyone and anyone who can break the existing course record of 2:36, I thought "what the hell."

2:36 is 12 minutes slower than I ran at Houston 5 weeks ago. 27 seconds/mile. Piece of cake right? Honestly I really don't know. Certainly it's a more difficult course. And I don't know what will happen to my legs around mile 20, because guess what? The last time I did a run over 20 miles was...that other race. But I'm excited to get out there and run hard with the other 100 guys and gals who also had the same idea (that money is going to get split a loooooot of different ways). Here's hoping I can hold it together long enough to be one of them!
So I did the math...between the men and women who split the $25k pot for course record performance...I calculated that you made enough to owe me the $890 from the bet that you lost!! Don't act like you don't know about the bet!! ~ Jerome
