Do you have a bucket list? I don't. My husband doesn't either. However, this weekend he ran his first marathon! To see that I am proud of him is an under statement!
Five years ago, I told him that I wanted to run a 5K. I had never run more than 1.5 miles in my life. So, we found a "Couch potato to 5K" training program and stuck to it! I ran a few 5K races and then ended up with knee surgery. Walking happens for me, and maybe a little "running" or "Wunning" as my neighbor likes to call it - you know, the walk and run!
Anyway, my husband went on to run the Riverbank Run (15.5 miles) three years ago. Then, early this past summer, he was talking to our neighbor friend and they were throwing around the idea of a marathon. So, over 400 miles in training they both finished the race yesterday!
Who knows what will be next, or if there might be a written "bucket list" in the near future!
