100 Days, 100 Marathons
Alyssa Clark was living in Italy with her army husband when she decided that she would run a marathon a day in spite of the lockdown in that country. Clark started on her treadmill running 26 miles 385 yards every day until restrictions lifted allowing her to run outside. The runner said she initially expected her marathon-running project to last for only about 15 days, but the lockdown got extended and then they had to ship back to the US with the Army. Clark said she was able to find time to run her daily marathons during her multi-day move to Naples, Florida. Alyssa has been an athlete all her life and ran and rowed for her college teams. Clark marked her 87th consecutive daily marathon run Thursday. She said she plans to keep her project going until she reaches 100 marathons in a row.
Humor for the long run
Last year I entered a marathon. The race started and immediately I was the last of the runners. It was embarrassing. The guy who was in front of me, second to last, was making fun of me. He said, “Hey buddy, how does it feel to be last?” I replied, “You really want to know?” Then I dropped out of the race.
“My doctor told me that running could add years to my life. I think he was right. I feel ten years older already.”
I’m like a cross between a marathon runner and a sprinter
I can jog short distances
“I’m thinking of running a marathon again.” I told my friend.
“You’ve run a marathon before?” she asked, with an air of admiration.
I said, “No, but I’ve thought about it.”
