Danny and I watched a documentary on the Chicago Marathon last weekend and we were both totally engrossed in it. It is called The Spirit of the Marathon and I bought my copy on Amazon. Originally I thought it was based on the 2007 marathon which Steph and I had run, but it turns out, it was taped in 2005. They covered the training of the first time marathoner, a Boston hopeful, an older man who had run many marathons at a 12 mph pace, and then 2 elite runners! For a runner, it was very interesting and got my mind on trying to figure out ways I can get more running in while we are here!
Besides family and friends, the one thing I really miss is running. Sure, I can go to the Sheraton and jump on a treadmill and run, but it is not the same as going outside and running until I feel like stopping. Here, the air pollution is so bad and the traffic is very heavy so I have yet to venture outside. My goal this spring is to get outside and run - I have to make the best of my situation - right?!! So, my dear husband, who is always looking out for me, found out that there is a 5K run on the Great Wall near Tianjin in May. There is also a marathon, but that is really out of my league!! I am so excited about having a run to look forward too!! How cool to run on the Great Wall!!
