Some specifics (from Jim):
- no training needed - (this is a proof point to how physically fit he is ("I don't need no stinking training")
- just needs to research sugar water or other stuff to drink during the run
- 26 miles (52 laps around his son's school track)
- 5 hours (at the most)
Now this I would L-O-V-E to see this!!!. I'm talking lawn chair, video camera, flags, air horn, and maybe sell tickets. But what if he has a stroke, heart attack, renal failure......... I'm sooooo torn. Watching Jim Met either fail or succeed (priceless), witnessing him directly placing himself in harms way (while I'm being entertained) (heart wrenching).
Anybody have any thoughts on this??? Should he do it? (If so, how much should a ticket go for?)
I spoke with a couple of guys who have run marathons in the past to get some advice for you. Chafing is a huge problem so lube up before you run. Lube your all your parts that rub when you run and don't forget your toes. Also bandaids on your nipples will prevent bleeding.
ReplyDeleteYou are going to have so much fun doing this!!!
Jim Metcalf has always done what he says he's going to do. If he says he's going to run a marathon "for fun" for his 40th birthday, he'll run the frickin' marathon. Now THIS is something I can make a side-bet on.
