Paris 2013 Marathon - Ready to Rock It!

All right.  I'm sitting here in my easy chair on a crisp fall Sunday morn, feet propped up on my desk, portable heater warming my little toes, ready to write about how I'm going to run the 2013 Paris Marathon with my best friend from Utah, Stephanie.  Of course, the fact that I weigh 269.5 pounds could make running the marathon a challenge....could make running to the kitchen a challenge.  And the fact that Stephanie is just finishing up her pre-op chemo and radiation for a surprise Stage III or Stage IV rectal cancer could make running the marathon a challenge as well.  BUT dang it!  We're going to make it ... or die trying!

  1. I'm 73 (74 by 2013 Paris), a prostate cancer survivor, and thinking of registering for the event, since my wife and I will be celebrating our 3oth anniversary in Paris we hope. Wonder why you decided to do the Paris Marathon? Have either of you done a marathon? With dedication, and appropriate training you should be able to make it.

  2. Hi ya, are you a charity runner for Paris Marathon 2013?

    I was looking to apply for next year's run and I cannot find how to apply. I did check through the official website and it doesn't seem to be helpful. Or is it just me not knowing the registers has not opened yet for next year? Help!
