I am a 24 year old Philadelphian, living in Fishtown, planning to run the 2009 Broad Street Run. I have never run any sort of distance race, and I’m certainly out of shape, which is why I’m giving myself a year to prepare for this stuff. My Aunt Mary is a longtime runner, and she’s going to help on the way, because I’m such a sweet nephew. She’s going to be paid in praise and favors and baked goods. Running with me will be my fiance, Katie, who is in somewhat better shape to begin with, and who had the idea to run the race in the first place.
This blog will document, in excruciating detail, the journey from fatty to successful (as in, completing the race in an unembarrassing time) long distance runner. This blog has not been influenced or inspired in any way by the movie Run Fatboy Run, as I am actually fat, I don’t intend to run remotely so far, and I don’t have commitment issues. I’m just here to kick ass and run far.
