The Adventures of Runningbear Musings of a English thirtysomething writing about running, training and racing, blogging on the highs and lows of athletics in the North of England and sharing her passion for the great outdoors.
Brandon's Marathon podcast and blog is a journal about an opera singer, living in New York City, as I push toward his first marathon and beyond. Originally, I had planned to run the New York City Marathon but, because of the number of entries, I didn't make the cut. So, my first marathon will be the Richmond Marathon, in Richmond, Virginia on November 15, 2008. I will also be going for my first Ironman Triathlon, in Madison, Wisconsin on September 13, 2009. UPDATE: Due to a funeral in my family, my wife and I were unable to run in Richmond. Check back for more developments.
My blog follows the race to race and week to week happenings of my quest to run my first Half Marathon in Grand Rapids Michigan in October 2009, and my first full Marathon sometime in 2010. I started running again after a major hiatus the beginning of 2008. My wife joined with me early in 2008, and we havent stopped since. I had stopped smoking after 20+ years of it in 2008, but restarted in late 2009. As of today (9/20/2009) I have stopped again, for 2 weeks.
I usually update once a week on the blog, unless I have a major event or race, where I will update earlier. Typically, during the Spring through Fall, I run at least once race per month. Of course, being in Michigan, I don't race during the winter months....I have a hard enough time running outside in the winter.
Being a new beginner, I do have reviews of some of the gear I like, I will likely review more as I obtain it. This will be from the viewpoint of someone that doesn't work anywhere near the running industry. I hope you enjoy the blog!
