Sinful Sunday – Week 385
Just ran my fastest marathon ever today, finished top three in my age group, top 10 overall, and got my qualifying time for the Boston Marathon! Good enough for second tier qualification, so I’ll submit my time on September 12. But today I submit my celebratory No Pants Endurance pic!
I’ve stated on this blog I have a kind of love/hate relationship with my body. Temperatures reached over 90 today and my body betrayed me big time the last couple miles with gnarly cramping, but I gritted it out, fended off anybody trying to pass me. So I win this round, body!

I admire your stamina – great photo too – just that blue thing rather obscures my vision 😉

Well done you. I just about manage to struggle through 4 miles a day so I am huge admiration of anyone who can run a marathon

Thanks, and 4 miles per day is a fine base! That’s about what I was running a day just two years ago.

You have an amazing body that can do marathons like that. I hope you can feel proud of it too. Even if it did try and betray you. Well done

Thank you for your kind words. I basically view my body as a machine when I run and get upset with it when it does something it shouldn’t, or doesn’t do something it should. I was literally yelling at it like I would my car if it was quitting on me. Probably got some strange looks.
