First,
I’d
like
to
thank
everyone
who
has
reached
out
to
me
so
far
with
their
support
and/or
kudos
for
deciding
to
take
on
the
marathon
this
year.
It’s
awesome
and
kind
of
humbling
to
have
marathon
veterans
cheering
me
on
–
and
it
definitely
makes
me
want
to

harder

I
took
a
pretty
good

to

this

and
have
been
a

I
saw
a
blog
post
on
the
VCM
website
this

from
an

runner
who
was
struggling
with
his
running.
The
writer
commented
about
how
the
fun
had
been
missing
from
his

As
a
result,
he
felt
as
though

I’ve

look
behind
the
curtain
at
the
production
of
a
marathon
event
and
see
what
it
takes
to
provide
a
race
for
a

thousand
people.

over
a
month
away
from
the
start
of
the

a
confession
to
make.
I
have
not
been
very
motivated
to
run
