When
I
was
12,
I
broke
my
right
ankle.
I
was
biking
to
school
in
November,
I
slipped
on
wet
leaves
in
a
friend’s
driveway,
and
next
thing
you
know
I
have
3
screws
in
my
ankle
and
a
cast
to
my
hip.
It
was
1978
and
I
sort
of
had
fun
cruising
around
school
on
crutches
for
three
months,

I
did
it!!!
I
got
the
handcycle
on
the
road,
and
it’s
amazing.
I
feel
like
myself
again,
working
out
outdoors,
on
wheels,
feeling
the
wind
and
sun
on
my
face.
Fantastic!It’s
such
a
nice
change.
In
my
walking
life,
I’ve
gradually
transitioned
to
full
weight
bearing
in
a
knee-high
boot,
but
I
can
only
be
on
my
feet

Remember
that
time
that
everything
went
exactly
as

Yeah,

had
my
ankle

the
day
before
the
Great
Snowstorm
of
2017,
and
after
the

A Few
Words
About
Hydration
What
occurs
when
you
become
dehydrated?
Your
blood
volume
decreases
Less
blood
returns
to
your
heart
The
amount
of
blood
your
heart
pumps
with
each
beat
decreases
Less
oxygen-rich
blood
reaches
your
working
muscles
You
produce
less
energy
aerobically
You
are
doomed
to

at
a
slower
pace

Tip
for

of
February

2016In
At
this
point
in
your
young
marathon
careers,
it
is
better
to
run
for
mileage
or
time,
but
not
both.
If
you
have
a
favorite
running
loop
that
you
usually
run
in
30
minutes,
but
one
day
you
do
it
in
35,
don’t
get
discouraged.
We
all

In
the
dark
ages
of
marathoning,
it
used
to
be
that
a
runner’s
energy
supply
came
from
what
he/she
had
consumed
(carbs)
in
the
week
leading
up
to
the
race,
and
was
supplemented
during
the
race
by
consuming
some
type
of
Gatorade-like
sports
drink.
Many
runners,
me
included,
would
carry
pieces
of
hard
candy

pockets

The
medical
literature
is
rife
with
articles
about
the
negative
effects
of
stress
in
our
lives;
some
of
us
manage
it
better
than
others.
Many
of
us
find
solace
in
lacing
up
our
running
shoes
and
heading
out
the
door
or
onto
the
treadmill
in
the
hopes
of
shedding
away
the
layers
of
stress

anxiety

that

The
Long
Run
A
Shifting
Paradigm
For
years,
the
venerable
long
run
has
been
the
centerpiece
of
the
marathon
training
program.
The
physiological
benefits
are
well

there
is
the
added
psychological
benefit
which
comes
from
asking
your

to
accomplish
something
it
may
never
have
done
before.

Marathon.
I
started
reflecting
on
the
number
of
people
that
are
needed
to
successfully
host
an
event
of
this
magnitude,
and
the
numbers
quickly
started
spiraling
out
of
control.
I
knew
from
personal
experience
that
just
considering
the
medical
team,
... More
They
say
that
doctors
make
the
worst
patients.
I
think
that
maybe
we
need
to
expand
that
statement
to
include
EMTs.
I
took
a
pretty
good
whack
to
the
head
this
week
and
have
been
a
bit
loopy
since
the
incident.
I’m
sure
that
I
had/have
a
concussion,
but
I
was
too
stubborn
to
seek
medical
attention.
Everyone
kept
telling
... More
OMG,
am
I
really
a
morning
person?I
read
a
quote
this
week
that
seems
pertinent
for
this
week’s
blog-
“I
dare
you
to
train
for
a
marathon
and
not
have
it
change
your
life.”
Susan
SidoriakIn
my
last
blog,
I
whined
a
bit
about
Mother
Nature
and
her
inappropriate
sense
of
humor.
This
past
Friday,
ahhhh,
remember
this
past
Friday…

Well,
it’s
over.
Months
and
months
of
training
finally
culminated
in
Sunday’s
2015
Vermont
City
Marathon.
Other
than
really
having
to
pee
and
freaking
out
while
standing
on
the
port-o-potty
line
when
the
announcer
said
that
all
runners
needed
to
be
in
the
starting
corral,
the
day
started
really
well.
I
felt
very
strong
over
the
first
few
miles.

One
week
to
go.
I
can’t
believe
that
all
of
my
training
miles,
assorted
preparations,
and
anticipation
will
culminate
this
weekend!
I’m
really
looking
forward
to
race
day.
If
you
see
me
out
there,
please
shout
words
of
encouragement.
I’ll
be
needing
them!I
ran
the
Burlington
“Cycle-the-City”
course
this
week.
It
was

If
you’ll
indulge
me
for
a
moment,
my
running
story
this
week
starts
with
a
brief
history…Years
ago,
I
bicycled
from
New
York
to
California.
We
took
70
days
and
covered
4300
miles.
I
recall
training
a
lot
for
that
trip.
Although,
maybe
“training”
wasn’t
the
right
word
for
it.
I
just
simply
loved
cycling,
and
lived
to
ride.
So,
... More
I
was
caught
off-guard
by
a
few
running-related
maladies
when
I
first
started
running
longer
mileages
last
year.
I’d
like
to
discuss
a
particular
one
of
the
many
medical
maladies
related
to
running…And
so
we
begin-
It
was
inevitable,
of
course,
that
I
would
eventually
get
caught
running
long
mileage
in
the
rain.
I
suspect
that
it
was
even
predictable
that
... More
Racing
has
never
been
my
thing.
I
love
running
so
much
that
saying
that
I
love
running
is
an
understatement.
But
racing?
Meh.
I
could
really
take
it
or
leave
it.
There’s
a
different
feeling
that
comes
with
races,
and
I’m
sure
it’s
mostly
the
after
effects
of
running
competitively
for
the
entirety
of
my
adolescence,
but
I
sense
this
... More
A
big
part
of
being
a
marathon
rookie
is
not
knowing
what
to
expect.
I
have
been
a
runner
for
quite
some
time
now...
about
ten
years,
to
be
exact,
which
isn’t
the
longest
amount
of
time
compared
to
some
runners
I’m
familiar
with,
but
it’s
almost
half
of
my
life.
I
have
competed
in
more
races
than
I
can
... More
Tapering.
It’s
well
known
to
be
a
royal
pain
in
the
butt,
anxiety
inducing
and
pretty
universally
recognized
as
a
crucial
component
of
training.
Being
a
competitive
runner
for
awhile
now,
tapering
is
no
foreign
concept
to
me.
Easing
up
in
preparation
for
an
important
race
is
simply
what
I
have
always
done,
thanks
to
coaches
who
related
the
concept

Before
embarking
on
my
long
run
this
Monday,
I
attempted
to
muster
up
some
pre-run
inspiration.
For
whatever
reason,
I
decided
to
do
so
by
watching
videos
of
runners
tackling
feats
that
make
my
training
and
even
the
end-game
of
running
a
marathon
seem
about
on
par
with
remembering
to
brush
my
teeth
in
the
morning.
I
successfully
devoted

I’ll
start
this
last
blog
off
by
saying
something
I
really
didn’t
want
to
have
to
say:
I
am
not
a
marathoner.
Yet.VCM
did
not
go
as
planned
for
me.
I
bonked
the
bonkiest
of
bonks
and
at
mile
16
had
no
mental
or
physical
capacity
to
continue
another
ten
miles
to
the
finish.I
accredit
this
to
a
few
things.

Earlier
this
week
I
watched
a
video
which
showed
me
a
live
view
of
the
entire
marathon
course.
The
videographer
was
on
a
bike--so
luckily
it
didn’t
take
hours
to
watch--but
it
allowed
me
to
see,
in
a
more
realistic
manner
than
a
course
map,
how
the
race
will
look.In
the
past
four
years
I’ve
run
a
lot
around
Burlington,

THE
END
IS
NEAR.
It’s
May.
It’s
finally
warm.
My
calendar
shows
today’s
date
and
marathon
day
on
the
same
page,
within
three
measly
little
squares
of
each
other.
I
come
home
from
runs
lately
with
my
face
covered
in
salt,
not
ice.
The
24th
is
coming,
and
it’s
coming
fast.For
months,
now,
I’ve

accustomed

There
is
a
sign
over
one
of
the
doorways
in
my
childhood
home
that
my
father
saw
on
a
whim
and
immediately,
for
no
particular
reason
other
than
that
he
liked
it,
purchased
it.
It’s
nothing
fancy
or
even
prominent.
I
hardly
even
notice
it
anymore,
until
someone
visiting
points
it
out.
It

“Where

One
of
the
most
important
components
of
running,
to
me
anyway,
is
the
mentality
of
it.
When
I’m
out
banking
the
miles,
my
mind
is
just
as
powerful,
if
not
more,
than
my
legs.
What
I’m
thinking
about,
what
I’m
trying
not
to
think
about,
my
stress
level
and
my
general
mood
and
how
awake
I
am
--
all
of

I
have
had
set
training
plans
at
several
points
in
my
time
as
a
runner.
In
high
school,
it
wasn’t
really
a
plan
that
I
got
to
see
charted
out
on
paper;
it
was
more
like
my
coach
told
us
how
far
to
run
each
day
and
what
level
of
effort
that
workout
should
be
at.
In
college,
I
was

I'm
becoming
more
and
more
convinced
that
the
best
way
to
train
for
a
5K
is
to
register
for
a
marathon.Three
mile
runs
are
now
my
warm-ups.
Six
is
my
favorite
everyday
distance.
10
feels
like
a
normal
weekend
activity.
Later
this
week,
I'll
run
16.
What’s
totally
ridiculous
about
all
of
this
is
that
it
was
only
a
month

A
balance
I’ve
yet
to
discover:
I
don’t
want
to
run
too
often,
because
I
feel
strongest
when
my
whole
being
craves
a
run.
But
I’m
training
for
a
marathon!
I
can’t
not
run
too
often.
These
muscles
need
to
stay
active.
Besides,
I
don’t
want
to
lose
the
habit.Speaking
of
habits:
I
am

ALL
the
time.

Well,
it’s
safe
to
say
the
honeymoon
phase
is
over.After
five
weeks
on
the
official
training
calendar
and
an
exact
99
miles
completed,
I
broke
off
from
the
schedule
for
the
first
time.
I
took
my
first
non-sanctioned,
non-scheduled
rest
day.
And
then
I
took

And

I

Well,
here
we
are.
Seven
months
later.
It's
a
funny
moment
of
reflection
for
me,
thinking
about
that
specific
period
of
time.
I
made
a
big
career
shift
before
moving
to
Vermont.
In
2014,
I
quit
my
job,
enrolled
in
a
program
where
people
who
know
nothing
about

spend
seven
months
learning

it,
and
then,

I
logged
53
miles
during
my
first
official
three
weeks
on

training
schedule.I’m
going
to
repeat
that,
because
I
am
not
exaggerating
when
I
say
that
I
could
not

53
seconds
straight
only
a
few
months
ago.
Once
more,
let
the
records

The

frightful,

for

of
