Cleveland Marathon 2009

Well, I am very proud to say that my wife and two of her best friends ran the Cleveland Marathon just a few weeks ago and they did a magnificent job! They finished the 26.2 mile run in under 4 hours! And, frighteningly enough, afterwards, they stated that they were ready for another. I can not and will not ever be able to understand running without a purpose - I used to be able to run miles during a soccer game but at least had a ball to chase. I can barely even run 2-3 miles on the treadmill before my mind forceably removes me due to complete boredom. They only way that I could run longer would be to take ADHD medication to allow me to focus enough and not become completely paralyzed from lack of interest.

Our stay in Cleveland was quite nice and I enjoyed walking around downtown and checking out the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Cleveland Browns Stadium. Lake Erie was also quite pretty at dusk as well. It sounds like their next running trips will be planned around shopping epicenters and thus more of a girl's adventure.
