Q. Why did God invent alcohol? A. So idiots like me could make stupid bets like ... "I betya I can run a marathon"!!! Well team, here I am kicking myself and wondering how the heck I am going to pull this one off! This stupid bet was made (under the influence of course)one month ago and I have until June 13th to prepare for the Traralgon Marathon (42 kilometres) here in Melbourne - Australia. I have never run a marathon in my life! This morning I made another stupid decision to run 20K to work. It took me 2hrs & 45 minutes and every bone in this 39 yr old body has been aching ever since!!! Is there anyone out there ... anyone at all, who can give me some advice (except "DON'T DO IT!!!"), that can help me achieve this goal and help me keep my 'word of honour'??? Please email me directly or better still ... come enter the marathon with me so I can have someone to carry my sorry ass back to the finish line when I collapse!!!
