Shout Out to Steven in Ireland

This post is dedicated to my friends in Ireland who read the blog. Q's friends who read the blog have told me how much they enjoy reading it. Thanks! I appreciate the comments very much. I enjoy writing the blog, and letting folks know about my progress, or lack thereof. :-)

I'm happy to hear that Q's friend Steven has taken up running, and is thinking about running in a marathon. Excellent news my friend. There are various guides out there about first time marathoning. I too am thinking about running a marathon, and am looking into guidance on this.

The Dublin Marathon is at the end of the month. I highly suggest going out along the route and cheering the runners on. I find watching the Chicago Marathon to be a huge inspiration for me.

Steven, you might even want to try running 5Ks or 10Ks to get used to running in races. I'm not sure if they have running groups in the Dublin area, but you also might look into that.

I think it is great you have taken the first step in running. I find I feel so much better and healthier.

Keep on running my friend!

:-)Charlie
